Evidence-Based Approach for Secondary Prevention of Uterine Fibroids (The ESCAPE Approach).

ABSTRACT: Uterine fibroids (UFs) are common tumors in women of reproductive age. It is imperative to comprehend UFs' associated risk factors to facilitate early detection and prevention. Simple relying on surgical/pharmacological treatment of advanced disease is not only highly expensive, but it also deprives patients of good quality of life (QOL).
