Dr. Tanya Petrossian and Dr. Katherine Burns, who were each awarded EndoFound research grants, teamed up to work on disease-modifying therapeutics that will ideally leave healthy tissues intact and prevent the recurrence of endometriotic lesions. Currently, excision surgery is considered the best treatment for endometriosis, but there is a chance of recurrence. Although still in its early stages, identifying metabolic or chemical biomarkers that are unique to endometrial lesions could go a long way toward helping more patients reach a timely diagnosis and to potentially prevent recurrence.

This week on EndoTV,  Lara Parker, author of Vagina Problems author and Deputy Editorial Director at BuzzFeed, sits down with Diana Flazone and discusses her journey with endometriosis.

This week on Endo Stories, Hannah Olsen writes about her long search for a diagnosis and the most painful year of her life (2020, so, “par for the course”). “I dream of a day,” Hannah writes, “when teaching about endometriosis is a priority in the medical community so women do not continue to suffer in massive numbers from a disease that is treatable.”
