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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Ovarian carcinomas may be seeded from primary tumors that develop in fallopian tube epithelia. The disease apparently spreads from the fallopian tube to the ovaries over the course of 6 to 7 years.

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 ...

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 ...
