title: The structure and future of endometriosis research.
abstract: Endometriosis is one of the most-investigated disorders of gynecology. Theories of various aspects of the disease are proposed but rarely are they adequately supported. This article examines several crucial areas in endometriosis investigation, with an eye toward recent developments. Critical evaluation of the quality of the tools is provided, and opinion on future directions is voiced.
