Abstract

The research activity of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Section of our Department (Dipartimento di Scienze Cliniche Specialistiche ed Odontostomatologiche—Università Politecnica delle Marche) was characterized from strong interest to clinical application of our findings, with the aim of improving prevention, diagnosis and therapy both in Obstetrics and in Gynecology. Here we present the history and the current developments of our main research areas: benign and preneoplastic diseases of the female reproductive system (uterine fibroids, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, endometriosis), gynecological oncology, pre-eclampsia, and obstetric complications.
