In this interview by Endometriosis ZONE Advisory Board Chairman, Mark Perloe, M.D., Professor Ledger discusses his thoughts and views on the findings of the EndoCAN study; the impact that treatment of minimal Endometriosis has on fertility; use of GnRH agonists after surgical treatment in both the pelvic pain patient and the infertile patient; what measures should be taken post-surgically in the patient with no or minimal disease, yet has continuing pelvic pain; new advances in the field of GnRH antagonists; indications and benefits of second-look laparoscopy in the field of infertility and pain management, guidelines for and benefits of addback therapies such as Tibolone; factors affecting the length of remission and whether they can be adjusted; how the younger female patient can get early intervention and help in managing the disease; Inhibin B testing and the impact surgery has on ovarian reserve; treatment of endometriomas; if Endometriosis can in fact be cured, and so much more. http://www.endozone.org/secure/expert/ledger.asp
