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 ...

Lesions of the ovary and fallopian tube (collectively, the adnexa) are found in up to 35% of premenopausal and 17% of postmenopausal patients. 1,2 They occur throughout the life cycle, with a spectrum ...

Fallopian tubes are female reproductive organs that connect the ovaries and the uterus. Every month during ovulation, which occurs roughly in the middle of a menstrual cycle, the fallopian tubes carry ...

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 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, ...

Endometriosis is a common and painful disease that affects about 5.5 million women in North America and is one of the top three causes of infertility in women. The problem is that this tissue behaves ...

Blocked fallopian tubes, or tubal occlusion, are one possible cause of infertility. There are usually no symptoms, but there are some risk factors that can increase the chance of developing the ...
