Persistent elevation of serum oestradiol levels by functional ovarian cysts despite effective pituitary desensitization with GnRH agonists

OBJECTIVE This study assessed whether functional ovarian cysts may prevent suppression of serum oestradiol levels even after pituitary desensitization had been achieved with buserelin.
