商品簡介
The October 1996 world congress provided a forum for the latest information and insights regarding the female reproductive disease endometriosis. The 63 contributions are divided into 11 sections--etiology and natural history; physiology of the uterus and endometrium; immunology; regulatory mechanisms, growth factors, and cell adhesion molecules in the pathogenesis; classification; surgical treatment; medical treatment; GnRH agonists; danazol; GnRH antagonists; and in vitro fertilization. Research on the pathogenesis of endometriosis is especially focused on a better understanding of the cellular mechanisms, which may provide important clues for future developments in prevention and therapy.
