Objective:
The aim: To analyze contemporary practical means to improve diagnostics of primary fallopian tube cancer.
Patients And Methods:
Materials and methods: Authors analyzed specifics of clinical signs and anamnesis in 152 PFTC patients. Diagnostic capacity of cytological analysis of pathologic vaginal discharge, X-ray contrast methods of examination, sonography, tumor markers, and computed tomography was studied. Own results of PFTC diagnostics using different methods and world practice using MRI, PET-CT and laparoscopy were discussed.
Results:
Results: Using own observations authors conclude that clinical analysis and complex use of the listed methods allows to mainly determine high risk group patients and set correct preoperative diagnosis in 35% and preliminary diagnosis in 20% of PFTC patients.
Conclusion:
Conclusions: Complex examination allows to recognize primary fallopian tube cancer on preoperative stage and to avoid inadequate surgical interventions in majority of PFTC patients.
