Accumulating evidence suggests that many ovarian high-grade serous carcinomas (HGSCs) originate in the fallopian tube. Malignant cells shed by tubal lesions can be detected by examination of ...

PHILADELPHIA -- Screening for tumor cells in the fallopian tubes of women at high-risk for ovarian cancer may help detect the cancer years before it develops further, suggests a new study co-led by ...

Fallopian tube cancer starts in the fallopian tubes, which connect a woman's ovaries to their uterus. Each month, an ovary releases one egg into the fallopian tube. The egg either gets fertilized by ...

Fallopian tube serous carcinoma (FTC) originates from the transformation of the salpingeal mucosa. Throughout the literature, epithelial ovarian cancer is often used as an umbrella term incorporating ...

In recent years it has become clear that many extra-uterine (pelvic) high-grade serous carcinomas (serous carcinomas) are preceded by a precursor lesion in the distal fallopian tube. Precursors range ...

A new study creates a detailed 'atlas' of the various cell types and their gene activities within the highly specialized fallopian tube, paving the way for new research into infertility and other ...

A new way of growing fallopian tube cells in culture is expected to give a boost to our understanding and prevention of female genital diseases, such as infertility, inflammatory disease, and ovarian ...

The fallopian tubes connect the ovaries and the uterus. Fallopian tube cancer occurs when cells in a tube multiply out of control and form a tumor. As the tumor grows, it presses on the tube, ...
