Abstract

Endometriosis is an enigmatic, painful, complex disease that affects approximately 1 million people in Canada. The disease can involve multiple organ systems, often resulting in debilitating chronic pain and infertility. Social, medical, geographic, and other factors are implicated in years-long diagnostic delays and may limit access to care. An integrated approach from bench to bedside to community is urgently required. A pan-Canadian collaboration among patients, clinicians and researchers will improve endometriosis awareness, provide best practices, and link research across Canada.
