On the other hand, it should be routinely used to exclude other intestinal diseases of the rectum, colon, and terminal ileum that can mimic intestinal symptoms of endometriosis (present in around 60% of patients with deep endometriosis). [intechopen.com]
Medical treatment with hormonal therapy such as OCP, Danazol or Gonatrophin antagonists can be attempted for intestinal disease when there is no obstruction [ 1, 2, 4 ]. [wjes.biomedcentral.com]

Workup
CASE PRESENTATION: We present a case of a young woman with sigmoid endometriosis, in which the initial diagnostic workup suggested colon cancer. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Because a metastatic workup was negative, the patient underwent laparotomy with rectosigmoid colon resection and low anterior reanastomosis. [archivesofpathology.org]

Treatment
These problems were solved by peroperative coloscopy that, revealing an extrinsic compression of the colonic and rectal wall in the presence of an intact mucosa, indicated the conservative treatment of the lesions in all three cases. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis
"No one really knows why the MSI-positive colorectal cancer patients have a better prognosis than the MSI-negative patients," she explained. [medscape.com]
The management of extrauterine endometrial stromal sarcoma is difficult, but primary surgical treatment with complete resection of all disease should be performed when feasible.10 The prognosis correlates well with stage. [archivesofpathology.org]
Specifically, improved prognosis was univariately associated with MSH2 deficiency, in contrast to other studies where there was no association between clinical outcomes and MSH2 expression status. 47 MMR status has been previously associated with prognosis [esmoopen.bmj.com]
High-grade ESS has an aggressive nature, whereas low-grade ESS, which was formerly called endolymphatic stromal myosis, is a slowgrowing tumor with much better prognosis[ 6 - 8 ]. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
My prognosis was about six months. I was introduced to Dr. Ed Viner, an oncologist who made all the difference. [coloncancercoalition.org]

The etiology of AS is rarely known and seems to be multifactorial [ 19 ]. Several endoscopic dilatation techniques can be used [ 20 ] to treat AS. [karger.com]
Given that this patient had undergone a laparoscopic uterine myomectomy, operative spillage of endometrial tissue and peritoneal implantation may be suggested as an etiological factor. [synapse.koreamed.org]

The first widely accepted theory regarding the pathophysiology of endometriosis was proposed by Sampson, in 1922. 10 The prevalence of intestinal endometriosis is 5.4% to 25.4%. [pelviperineology.org]
