What is it about?

In this paper, we present a review of current evidence in the efficacy of newer drugs used for the treatment of endometriosis, such as aromatase inhibitors, GnRH antagonists, and selective progesterone receptor modulators (SPRMs), as well as other new compounds that are under study and still not in clinical use

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.
