Researchers in Australia have developed a new blood test that could transform the diagnosis of endometriosis. Study results published in the journal Human Reproduction suggest that this non-invasive test, known as PromarkerEndo, can detect all stages of endometriosis with a high degree of accuracy, potentially reducing the average seven-year wait for a diagnosis.
“This breakthrough is an exciting advance in the diagnosis of this debilitating disease,” Professor Peter Rogers, Research Director at the Royal Women’s Hospital and the Professor of Women’s Health Research at the University of Melbourne, said.
