Abstract: Endometriosis is a benign gynecological condition characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity, affecting around one in ten reproductive-aged women. It commonly causes pelvic pain and infertility, yet diagnosis remains challenging. Current methods rely on imaging, which requires expert interpretation and varies in accuracy, or on laparoscopic surgery, now less frequent due to its invasiveness. These limitations result in diagnostic delays of 4–11 years, significantly affecting patients’ quality of life.Consequently, there is a need for finding new non-invasive, effective and easy to use diagnostic approaches. Cervical fluid reflects the endometrial environment and has already been studied in other gynecological conditions, arising as a potential non-invasive source of endometriosis biomarkers. The aim of our study is to identify, verify and clinically validate biomarkers for endometriosis diagnosis in cervical fluid using proteomic techniques. Host: Eva Colás Ortega.
