1 Treatment of endometriosis and chronic pelvic pain with letrozole and norethindrone acetate: a pilot study  Radhika K Ailawadi, M.D., Smeeta Jobanputra, M.D., Meera Kataria, M.D., Bilgin Gurates, M.D., Serdar E Bulun, M.D.  Fertility and Sterility  Volume 81, Issue 2, Pages (February 2004) DOI: /j.fertnstert

2 FIGURE 1 Pre- and post-treatment disease stages, based on ASRM endometriosis scores, for individual patients (n = 10). (A) Baseline: first-look laparoscopy 1 month before treatment; (B) one-month post-treatment: second-look laparoscopy 1 month after treatment. Determinations for each patient before and after treatment are interconnected. Ailawadi. Letrozole effects on endometriosis. Fertil Steril 2004. Fertility and Sterility  , DOI: ( /j.fertnstert )

4 FIGURE 3 Pre- and post-treatment DEXA scan results for bone density in the hip and spine of individual patients (n = 10). (A) hip; (B) spine. Determinations for each patient (numbered) before and after treatment are interconnected. A slight but statistically significant improvement in hip bone density (P = .04) was noted. No statistically significant difference was detected between groups with respect to spine bone density. Ailawadi. Letrozole effects on endometriosis. Fertil Steril 2004.
