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 ...

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 ...

Researchers in Japan have revealed the mechanism that determines the direction of the transportation of eggs in the fallopian tube. Fallopian tubes, or oviducts, connect the ovaries and uterus. They ...

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 ...

Salpingectomy (sal-pin-JEK-tuh-me) is the surgical removal of one or both fallopian tubes. After this procedure, getting pregnant is usually more difficult. There are several reasons to get a ...

Genetic studies by scientists in the U.S. suggest that the most common form of ovarian cancer actually starts in the fallopian tubes and takes about 6.5 years to progress to high-grade serous ovarian ...

In the field of cancer medicine, the prevailing wisdom is that early detection and diagnosis saves lives. Catching cancer at earlier stages generally improves patient outcomes and increases chances of ...

THE presence of ectopic pregnancy in a supernumerary fallopian tube is sufficiently unusual to warrant the report of a case. Novak 1 states that "duplication in the form of a third tube is very rare." ...
