An update on the biological markers of endometriosis.

CONCLUSIONS: CA 125 remains the most recommended marker for suspicion of endometriosis and follow-up. Other markers, such as CA 19-9, CA 72-4, and endometrial cells in peripheral blood, have more value for differentiating endometriosis from other pathologies, while circulating micro-RNA could help clarify the endometrial stem cell's implication in its pathogeny. Finally, other new urinary markers could be used in early diagnostic and screening strategies. PMID: 28271701 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
