Brief summary
Prospectively enroll patients with endometriosis and EAOC who complete the routine diagnostic and treatment process and consent to surgical intervention for OCS testing. Using postoperative ovarian pathological diagnosis as the gold standard, evaluate the clinical diagnostic performance of exosome detection in differentiating between endometriosis and EAOC.
Interventions
Preoperatively, 5 ml blood samples were collected for OCS testing to determine the benign or malignant nature of ovarian endometriotic tissues. The OCS results were statistically analyzed against the gold standard of histopathological diagnosis.
