Abstract:
Endometriosis is a common gynecologic disorder defined by the presence,growth,and invasion of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity.Although many hypotheses have been proposed,the etiology of the disease remains an enigma.Recent studies have suggested that factors within the peritoneal fluid contribute to endometriotic implant invasion,neovascularization,and proliferation.Chemokines,especially ENA-78,similar to IL-8,are postulated to play an essential role in the local inflammatory reactions seen in endometriosis.
