HRT may prevent endometrial cancer
The long-term use of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) does not increase the risk of endometrial cancer and may even protect the endometrium (the lining of the uterus) from the disease, concludes a study in this week's BMJ. In one of the largest long-term studies of its kind researchers from across the UK collected data from 534 postmenopausal... view more... (2002-07-31)
New ultrasound-guided biopsy method allows improved diagnosis of endometrial disease
A procedure used in conjunction with a vaginal ultrasound might make it easier to visualize and diagnose diseases in the lining of the uterus, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found. view more (2009-04-14)
Female Sterility And Local Immunity
Extracorporal fertilisation applied to sterility treatment has become not only a rescue for a lot of women, but also a convenient research method for physicians. The method can help detect previously unknown reasons for female sterility. The number of sterile married couple is growing worldwide: 20 to 30 percent of sterility cases are caused by... view more... (2004-04-16)
Risk factors in contracting cancer of the endometrium
The risk of having endometrial cancer increases with obesity, thyroid alterations, hypercholesterolemia and mellitus diabetes. The probabilities of contracting this disease are also increased in those women who have a family history of this type of cancer and also with the consumption of animal fat, visceras and smoked fish. This is what Pamplona... view more... (2005-05-25)
Scientists discover how to isolate stem cells in womb tissue
Scientists in Australia have found a way of identifying probable stem cells in the lining of women's wombs. The finding opens up the possibility of using the stem cells for tissue engineering applications such as building up natural tissue to repair prolapsed pelvic floors. Pelvic floor prolapse is a common condition, affecting over 50% of women... view more... (2007-09-13)
MRI accurately depicts deep endometriosis
Using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), radiologists may be able to diagnose deep endometriosis and accurately locate lesions prior to surgery, according to a new study published in the online edition of Radiology. view more (2009-07-07)
Potential dangers of long term tamoxifen use
Tamoxifen prolongs the life of women with breast cancer and may significantly reduce the risk of developing the disease in those with an inherited tendency. But, suggests a leading article in the Journal of Clinical Pathology, long term use may produce other serious abnormalities, including cancer. view more (1999-02-12)
At last -- a quick and accurate way of diagnosing endometriosis
A quick and accurate test for endometriosis that does not require surgery has been developed by researchers from Australia, Jordan and Belgium, according to new research published online today (Wednesday 19 August) in Europe's leading reproductive medicine journal Human Reproduction. view more (2009-08-19)
Fibroids common, but women have options
Small fibroids located just beneath the lining of the uterus (submucosal) are more likely to move to the endometrial cavity after uterine artery embolization (UAE) but usually don't cause major complications, according to a new study. view more (2008-05-19)
Family history of breast cancer does not increase risk of womb cancer
A family history of breast cancer does not increase a woman`s chances of developing womb cancer, finds a 20-year study in the Journal of Medical Genetics. Cancers of the lining of the womb (endometrium) and breast share some of the same reproductive, hormonal, and lifestyle risk factors. The evidence for a genetic link between the two types of... view more... (2002-11-01)
EFFECT OF DIET ON CANCER RISK (p 861)
A review in this week’s issue of THE LANCET assesses the research which has investigated possible links between diet and cancer. A familiar conclusion is reached-cancer risk can be reduced by eating a balanced diet (including the regular consumption of fresh fruit and vegetables), combined with regular exercise and a restriction on alcohol... view more...

GENETIC SUSCEPTIBILITY TO INFERTILITY (p 1336)
In women, unsuccessful attachment and implantation of fertilised eggs (embryos) to the lining of the womb (endometrium), resulting in infertility, could be influenced by variation of a specific gene, conclude authors in a preliminary study described in a research letter in this week's issue of the Lancet. The failure of embryo implantation is... view more... (2001-04-25)
Sonohysterography is an Alternative Diagnostic Tool for Women with Adenomyosis Suffering from Dysmenorrhea, Abnormal Vaginal Bleeding and Pelvic Pain
Sonohysterography (SHG), a simple ultrasound technique commonly used to evaluate the uterine cavity, improves the diagnostic capability of transvaginal ultrasound in detecting adenomyosis (a common benign condition of the uterus that causes dysmenorrhea, abnormal vaginal bleeding and pelvic pain), according to a study performed at the Thomas... view more...

Progress made in understanding causes and treatment of endometriosis
Endometriosis is a poorly understood chronic disease characterized by infertility and chronic pelvic pain during intercourse. It affects between 5 to 10 million women in the U.S. view more (2009-01-20)
Research into soy will continue but soy is not a solution for heart disease
Many soy food products carry health claims stating that they reduce the risk of heart disease. A review of the evidence, however, suggests that soy's cardiovascular benefits may have been overestimated by the early studies that formed the basis for its health claim. view more (2006-02-07)
New report shows how our diet must change to cut cancer risk
A new report published this week by the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) will show how much our diet needs to change if we are to reduce the risk of cancer. view more (2007-11-02)
Researchers identify ovarian cancer biomarkers
Researchers have identified markers unique to the cells of blood vessels running through ovarian tumors. The finding, while preliminary, could one day improve screening, diagnosis and treatment for this disease. view more (2007-03-08)

Immune cells promote blood vessel formation in mouse endometriosis
A discovery in mice of immune cells that promote the formation of new blood vessels could lead to new treatments for endometriosis, a painful condition associated with infertility that affects up to 15 percent of women of reproductive age. view more (2007-10-19)
Significantly higher success rates with artificial insemination
In future a new method could help some couples who are childless against their will. The microscopic procedure significantly improves the success rate of 'ICSI' (intracytoplasmic sperm injection). view more (2008-02-07)
