Use of a New Diagnostic Tool in the Detection and Characterization of Endometriosis Lesions

This study includes preoperative \[18F\]-FES PET/CT imaging to assess estrogen receptor expression in endometriosis patients undergoing laparoscopic or robot-assisted surgery. Pain levels will be evaluated using VAS, BPI, HADS, and SF-36 scales. Immunohistochemistry and quantitative mRNA expression analysis (ESR1, ESR2, GPER) will be performed on excised lesions using Tissue Microarray. This approach aims to correlate PET/CT imaging findings with histological and molecular data, distinguishing it from standard surgical interventions.
