Role of endometriosis in cancer and tumor development.

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences - 1 Mar 2002

Swiersz Lillian Marie

Abstract excerpt

Endometriosis, like cancer, is characterized by cell invasion and unrestrained growth. Furthermore, endometriosis and cancer are similar in other aspects, such as the development of new blood vessels and a decrease in the number of cells undergoing apoptosis. In spite of these similarities, endometriosis is not considered a malignant disorder. The possibility that endometriosis could, however, transform and...
