Endometriosis
Reproduction and Fertility has a growing collection of free-to-read, reviews and research articles focused on the topic of Endometriosis. This special series is Guest Edited by Lauren Foster, along with Series Associate Editor, Mathew Leonardi.
“Endometriosis is a common gynecological and systemic inflammatory disease affecting approximately 179 million people assigned female at birth worldwide. Despite being such a common disease with a high economic burden, endometriosis remains underfunded and under-researched. While important advances have been made over the years in defining the pathophysiology of endometriosis, its cause remains ill defined, diagnosis continues to present challenges and therapeutic options are suboptimal. In this special series, we have recruited international experts to provide insights and perspectives into the latest advances in endometriosis research. With this special series, we aim to summarize the current state of 'leading edge' research and opinion in endometriosis.”
