I came across a few websites that may be of additional help in understanding endometriosis.
They are short and to the point as far as symptoms and causes of the disease are concerned.
There is even an interactive flash movie that you visual learners can check out...
The flash movie can be viewed here.
I also researched to see if endometriosis could result in uterine cancer. According to http://www.medicinenet.com/uterine_cancer/article.htm
it states the following:
"Endometriosis is another benign condition that affects the uterus. It is most common in women in their thirties and forties, especially in women who have never been pregnant. It occurs when endometrial tissue begins to grow on the outside of the uterus and on nearby organs. This condition may cause painful menstrual periods, abnormal vaginal bleeding, and sometimes loss of fertility (ability to get pregnant), but it does not cause cancer. Women with endometriosis may be treated with hormones or surgery. "
These websites are also helpful:
