Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Endometriosis is among the most prevalent gynecologic diseases with estimated prevalence rates nearly 10% of women on reproductive age worldwide. Characterized by the presence of endome-trial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity, this complex condition causes a vast range of symptoms in suffering women, including both physical and mental problems, which in turn, ameliorates their quality of life. Conventional treatments for endometriosis usually include medical and surgical treatments, although elevated rates of treatment failure has been observed. Therefore, there is a need to optimize current treatment regimens as well as to explore new therapeutics that could improve quality of life of those women unresponsive to conventional treatments. Moreover, there is a need to develop non-invasive or minimally invasive diagnostic tools to reduce the large diagnostic delay observed in this disease.
In this Special Issue, we invite researchers to contribute with manuscripts encompassing both clinical and preclinical studies, including but not limited to original articles, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and study protocols. Submissions that utilize qualitative or mixed methods approaches to address unmet needs, identify barriers, or highlight research priorities are particularly encouraged.
Dr. Francisco Artacho-Cordon
Guest Editor
