Overview

The goal of this study is to identify the molecular or genetic mechanisms that may predispose patients with bowel endometriosis to an increased risk of colorectal carcinoma. The study will include patients for whom surgical treatment of bowel endometriosis is clinically indicated. This research would represent a significant advancement in evaluating the necessity of surgical intervention in asymptomatic patients or those with mild symptoms. Furthermore, it would provide a broader insight into the systemic impact of endometriosis on other organ systems, ultimately improving risk assessment and preventive measures.
