Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Although a limited number of drugs make up the mainstay of treatment of endometriosis, many alternative medications have been used in an attempt to improve efficacy. Some have been rigorously evaluated and are of proven benefit, while others show promise in preliminary trials or in animal models. Proper methods of evaluating medical therapy and outcomes are essential. This chapter provides a review of new medical therapies for the treatment of endometriosis and their evaluation. |
