Globally, endometriosis affects approximately 5\u201310% of women of reproductive age, leading to symptoms such as dysmenorrhea, chronic pelvic pain, and infertility. While the precise etiology of endometriosis remains unclear, various etiological theories have been suggested to explain the condition\u2019s development. Recent research has focused on the TGF-\u03b2 superfamily, which regulates cell proliferation, differentiation, migration, and immune modulation, and is increasingly recognized as a key contributor to the pathogenesis of endometriosis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This review provides a comprehensive examination of TGF-\u03b2 superfamily in endometriotic lesions. According to the recommendations of the Preferred Reporting Project for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines, a literature search was conducted in the PubMed and Web of Science database until April 30, 2025.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>TGF-\u03b2 superfamily contributes not only to the adhesion, invasion, and proliferation of ectopic endometrial cells but also to the mediation of fibrosis, immune modulation, and angiogenesis within endometriotic lesions. Considering the parallels between endometriosis and malignant processes, including local invasion and abnormal tissue growth, analyzing the TGF-\u03b2-mediated mechanisms offers new insights into disease progression and its oncological parallels. Exploration of TGF-\u03b2-dependent biomarkers and targeted inhibitors holds potential in advancing more effective diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n
