Australian researchers make world-first endometriosis breakthrough

Sydney researchers have made a world-first leap forward that could change the treatment of endometriosis and improve the health of women living with the painful and debilitating disease.

Researchers from Sydney’s Royal hospital for women have grown tissue from every known type of endometriosis, observing changes and comparing how they respond to treatments.

It means researchers will be able to vary treatments from different types of endometriosis, determining whether a woman will need fertility treatments.

Professor of obstetrics and gynaecology at Sydney Royal hospital for Women, Jason Abbott, said the development is comparable to those made in the treatment of breast cancer three decades ago.
