Ultrasound and biological features of atypical endometriosis
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how endometriosis (a condition where tissue similar to the womb lining grows outside the womb) appears on ultrasound and how it relates to certain biological markers. If you are already scheduled for endometriosis surgery, the study will use ultrasound images to learn more about your condition and possibly improve future diagnoses.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old.
- You are scheduled to have surgery for deep endometriosis or an endometrioma (a cyst caused by endometriosis), or for a suspected or confirmed tumor in the ovary or uterus.
- You must have had a detailed gynecological ultrasound (performed by an experienced specialist) as part of your preparation for surgery.
- You must be able and willing to have a transvaginal or transrectal ultrasound (a small ultrasound probe inserted into the vagina or rectum).
- You have not had cancer before.
- You are willing to sign a consent form to participate.

This study tests whether using ultrasound during surgery helps doctors better find and remove deep endometriosis in the bowel. It may lead to more precise surgery and better outcomes.
This study tracks how endometriosis changes over two years using regular ultrasounds. It also looks at how the disease affects your quality of life, helping doctors understand what influences progression.
This trial compares two imaging methods—transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) and MRI—to see which one is better at finding deep infiltrating endometriosis before surgery. If you have endometriosis and are planning laparoscopic surgery, this study may help guide your treatment by improving how doctors see the disease.
This trial studies whether a computer (deep neural network) can better identify endometriosis in people with long-lasting pelvic pain using information from surgery. It may help doctors sort who has endometriosis more accurately when surgery is already planned.
This study collects blood and small tissue samples during planned gynecological surgery to better diagnose endometriosis and predict its course. It may help future patients by making diagnoses and outlook more accurate.
This study looks at how certain cells in the womb lining (called decidual cells) interact with immune cells (natural killer cells) in women with deep endometriosis, compared to women without the condition. It aims to understand the disease better, which could lead to improved treatments in the future.
