Unlabelled:
Primary fallopian tube cancer constitutes 1% of gynecologic malignancies. Early clinical manifestation and prompt investigations lead to diagnosis in the early stage of disease accounting for a better survival compared with ovarian cancer. Principles of management generally follow that of epithelial ovarian cancer. This article reviews the current understanding of this rare cancer.
Target Audience:
Obstetricians & Gynecologists, Family Physicians.
Learning Objectives:
After completion of this article, the reader should be able to describe the clinical features of a patient with fallopian tube carcinoma, to list the prognostic factors associated with fallopian tube cancer, and to outline the treatment options for a patient with fallopian tube cancer.
