Original Source: Serum and Peritoneal Fluid Bank for Endometriosis Markers
The purpose of this study is to investigate differences in protein expression profiles of blood and peritoneal fluid samples obtained from patients who do, and those who do not, have endometriosis seen during laparoscopic surgery. These profiles may include both known and novel markers for diagnosing endometriosis.
