LYCOPENE

I recently caught wind of a study (which I cannot find in its original form but is referenced in places such as [this] and [this] and [this]) performed by researchers at Wayne State University in Detroit, MI, that suggests a diet high in lycopene can help inhibit the growth of endometrial lesions.  Certainly not an authoritative or extensive study, the results were extremely promising- Should we all go out and grab some tomatoes then?  Well, tomatoes aren't the only source of lycopene.  Follow [this] link to see what the top-ten lycopene-rich foods are!

Eating lycopene-rich foods with a small amount of fat, such as olive oil, increases the amount that is absorbed by the intestines; also, cooking tomatoes allows more lycopene to be absorbed as well.  There are supplements available, but some sources [here] suggest that they may not have the same effect.  Even though the study was limited to the laboratory, I think increasing lycopene consumption is a safe, easy, and delicious! way to potentially have an impact on keeping endo lesions at bay.  Buon appetito!
