Why is it important?
There is a need to find effective treatments that do not block ovarian function. New nonhormonal drugs are still experimental. For this purpose, antiangiogenic factors could be important components of endometriosis therapy in the future. Upcoming researches and controlled clinical trials should focus on these drugs, in order to establish if they are really effective in relieving pain without affecting fertility.
