Inclusion Criteria

Voluntary patients with endometriosis
* Women aged 18 to 45 years
* Patients with suspicion of endometriosis; associated adenomyosis is accepted
* Informed, voluntary signature of the consent form
* Patient requiring laparoscopy for endometriosis purposes (first procedure or
recurrence) regardless of the endometriosis type (superficial, ovarian or deep)
* Possibility of follow-up for 2 years., Healthy voluntary patients
* Women aged 18 to 45 years
* Informed, voluntary signature of the consent form
* Patient requiring laparoscopy for an indication other than endometriosis,
adenomyosis, uterine fibroma & other fibroid pathologies (example of possible
surgeries: tubal sterilization, non-fibroid ovarian cyst, urinary incontinence
requiring ureteral intervention).

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>Primary endpoints<br /><br>The analytical validation of biomarkers identified in the diagnosis of<br /><br>endometriosis will be based on the following results:<br /><br>- Immunohistochemistry localization marking;<br /><br>- Immunohistochemistry marking rate;<br /><br>- Differential expression profile of microRNA.<br /><br>The possibility, with biomarkers and an associated algorithm, to differentiate<br /><br>between endometriosis patients versus healthy control patients.<br /><br><br /><br>The primary endpoints will be determined from analysis results and are composed<br /><br>of sensitivity, specificity, NPV and PPV. These criteria will allow a<br /><br>conclusion on biomarker signature performance in diagnosing endometriosis.</p><br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>Secondary endpoints<br /><br><br /><br>The analytical validation of biomarkers for the prognosis of endometriosis<br /><br>recurrence will be based on:<br /><br>- Immunohistochemistry localization marking;<br /><br>- Immunohistochemistry marking rate;<br /><br>- Differential expression profile of microRNA.<br /><br>The possibility, with biomarkers and an associated algorithm, to identify<br /><br>endometriosis patients in recurrence after 2 years of follow-up<br /><br><br /><br>The secondary endpoints will be determined from analysis results and are<br /><br>composed of sensitivity, specificity, NPV and PPV. These criteria will allow a<br /><br>conclusion on biomarker signature performance in predicting endometriosis<br /><br>recurrence for each patient.</p><br>
