Abstract:

In this review, the main potential biomarkers of external genital endometriosis are discussed. Many studies of the molecular and genetic mechanisms responsible for the development of endometriosis promote the discovery of new aspects of the pathogenesis of endometriosis and help in the development of minimally invasive diagnostic methods.

Keywords:

endometriosis
biomarkers
diagnostics
combination of biomarkers
