Deep endometriosis and the risk of colon cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at whether having deep endometriosis, especially when it affects the bowel, is linked to a higher chance of developing colon or rectal cancer later on. By participating, you could help researchers understand this connection better, which may improve future care for women with endometriosis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You must be 18 years or older.

- Your doctor has recommended surgery to treat your 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 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 compares two surgical techniques for removing bowel affected by deep endometriosis: one where the surgeon works entirely inside the body, and one where part of the surgery is done outside. The goal is to see which approach leads to better recovery and fewer complications. If you are having bowel surgery for endometriosis, you may be able to join.
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.
This study compares two ways of using ultrasound to check how deeply endometriosis has grown into the bowel. It aims to find which method is more accurate during surgery, which could help doctors remove the disease more completely.
