Deep endometriosis and colon cancer risk study
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at whether deep endometriosis (endometriosis growing into organs like the bowel) is linked to a higher chance of developing colon cancer. It follows women with this condition to see if there's a connection.

This study observes women with deep endometriosis that affects the colon or rectum to better understand the condition and improve treatment. Your participation will help researchers learn more about this type of endometriosis.
This study tests surgery to remove deep endometriosis nodules that have grown into the wall of the rectum or sigmoid colon. It focuses on women with this specific type of endometriosis to see if surgery can improve symptoms.
This study compares two surgical techniques for removing endometriosis from the bowel. It aims to see if one method (all work done inside the body) leads to better recovery than the other (partly done outside). This may help women with deep endometriosis affecting the intestine choose the best approach.
This study tests whether using ultrasound during surgery helps doctors better assess and treat deep endometriosis (tissue that grows into the bowel wall). If you have endometriosis affecting your rectum or sigmoid colon and need surgery, this trial may help improve how your surgeon evaluates the extent of disease.
This trial studies whether fully removing deep endometriosis from the bowel (“bowel endometriosis surgery”) can improve fertility in people trying to get pregnant through IVF. It focuses on those with infertility and ongoing pain despite usual medicines.
This trial uses an ultrasound probe placed inside the rectum during surgery to see how accurately it measures how deep and how far endometriosis has spread into the bowel wall. The goal is to help surgeons decide exactly how much bowel needs to be removed.
