Once the investigators achieve the purposes to set out, the investigators would try to maintain "in vitro" stem cell population isolated from myometrial fibroids, for further endocrine characterization. Finally, the investigators would try to induce the formation of fibroids in murine models as a first step to demonstrate that the origin of these formations is due to the abnormal proliferation of myometrial adult stem cells. The results of this study will allow the identification of the cell population in the fibroids. The investigators also can being able to compare with the myometrium in order to establish a relationship that helps us to understand more about the pathophysiology of this disease, using these stem cells as targets therapy in the treatment of this myometrium condition.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'FEMALE', 'stdAges': ['ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '40 Years', 'minimumAge': '20 Years', 'samplingMethod': 'PROBABILITY_SAMPLE', 'studyPopulation': 'Female patients from 20 years and older undergoing laparoscopic myomectomy for symptomatic uterine fibroids.', 'healthyVolunteers': True, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Clinical diagnosis for subserosal, intramural and submucosal fibroids.\n* Aged between 20 and 40 years\n* Signing of informed consent for collection and storage of biological samples.\n\nExclusion criteria:\n\n* Contraindications for surgery.\n* Failure to sign informed consent for collection and storage of biological samples.'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT01592903', 'briefTitle': 'Somatic Stem Cells in Leiomyomas?', 'organization': {'class': 'INDUSTRY', 'fullName': 'Igenomix'}, 'officialTitle': 'Identification and Characterization of Putative Leiomyoma Stem Cells.', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': '1006-C-072-CS-F'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'label': 'Patients with symptomatic uterine fibroids.', 'description': 'Samples of human leiomyomas are obtained from patients undergoing laparoscopic myomectomy for symptomatic uterine fibroids.
