World Endometriosis Society consensus on the classification of endometriosis

TL;DR: An international consensus statement on the classification of endometriosis is produced through systematic appraisal of evidence and a consensus process that included representatives of national and international, medical and non-medical societies, patient organizations, and companies with an interest in endometiosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Blood biomarkers for the non‐invasive diagnosis of endometriosis

TL;DR: This is the first review to use Cochrane methods to evaluate blood biomarkers as replacement tests for diagnostic surgery and as triage tests to inform decisions on surgery for endometriosis, providing an update on the rapidly expanding literature in this field.

The endometrial immune environment of women with endometriosis.

TL;DR: P phenotyping immune cell subtypes is essential to determine the role of the endometrial immune niche in pregnancy and endometrium homeostasis normally and in women with poor reproductive history and can facilitate development of innovative diagnostics and therapeutics for associated symptoms and compromised reproductive outcomes.

Gene expression patterns of breast carcinomas distinguish tumor subclasses with clinical implications

TL;DR: Survival analyses on a subcohort of patients with locally advanced breast cancer uniformly treated in a prospective study showed significantly different outcomes for the patients belonging to the various groups, including a poor prognosis for the basal-like subtype and a significant difference in outcome for the two estrogen receptor-positive groups.
