L’endometriosi ed il Cancro
Too often women are unnecessarily scared by suggesting that endometriosis predisposes to cancer. Fifteen years ago we (PK) were the first to suggest an association between dioxin pollution and endometriosis. Today this hypothesis seems confirmed in primates. Some articles in addition suggest an association between endometriosis and ovarian cancer. There is moreover a lot of speculation about the pathophysiology of endometriosis especially since deep endoemtriosis is invasive
27-07-2009 : The truth today is that the association between ovarian cancer and cancer in general and endometriosis is extremely weak. I have seen after surgery of >4000 ovarian cysts and > 2000 deep endometriosis only 1 adenocarcinoma. It is incorrect to scare women with this.
While I can accept a fair scientific discussion without speculation, I do have the impression that some authors intentionally try to scare women by publishing specifically articles suggesting a relationship. ( ad esempio : google ‘endometriosi e cancro’. It is a shame.

La Chirurgia laparoscopica e pericolosa
E l’esempio typico della disinformazione. Primo la chirurgia laparoscopica ha tanti avantaggi per la patienta : meno dolore, ospitalisazione piu breve ………… Secondo la chirurgia laparoscopica e come la microchirurgia : visualizazione migliorata, piu detaigli, piu precisa.
Il problemo e che non tutti ginecologi hanno imparato la chirurgia laparoscopica. Cosi la laparotomia continua a essere fatto, supratutto perche il ginecologo non fa la chirurgia laparoscopica dell’livello necessario. E un problemo per la chirurgia piu difficile come l’isterectomia per un utero grande, la promontofixazione e suprotutto l’endometriosis profonda e la lymfadenectomia per il cancro.
