EDITOR's MESSAGE

Dear colleagues, members of the WES

It is a great pleasure every time I send to each one of you a new issue of the e-journal. In this issue we highlight angiogenesis and endometriosis-related cancer through two interesting papers by Dr Peter Rogers and Dr Edgardo Somigliana.

Dr Rogers provides us with an opinion article putting into prominence how angiogenesis is a critical step for endometriosis development, the treatment and the problems related to the potential use of anti-angiogenic agents.


Professor Ali Akoum
WES e-Journal editor

Dr Somigliana et al provides a review of cohort and case-control studies addressing the potential association between endometriosis and various malignancies and the possible protective effect of oral contraceptives.

I thank the authors for their appreciated contribution and encourage all of you to use the e-journal as a vehicle for sharing thoughts, opinions, collaborative projects, messages, news and articles that may be of interest for our members and help us in our common effort to expand knowledge and to improve endometriosis diagnosis and treatment for the patients’ well-being.

Cordially,

Professor Ali Akoum
