Abstract

Abstract

Endometriosis is a common and refractory gynecological disease characterized by the growth of active endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity, leading to corresponding clinical symptoms. The etiology and pathogenesis of this condition remain unclear. Galectin plays an important role in inflammation, tumor, immunity and reproduction. In recent years, the role of galectin in endometriosis has garnered increasing attention. This review discusses the role of galectin in endometriosis.
