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 ...
Mounting evidence suggests that most, if not all, serous ovarian cancers start in the fallopian tubes, not in the ovaries. Using integrated molecular genomics, researchers confirm and extend prior ...
Impact of Raloxifene or Tamoxifen Use on Endometrial Cancer Risk: A Population-Based Case-Control Study A diagnosis of primary peritoneal serous carcinoma (PPSC) requires exclusion of a source in ...
Some scientists have suspected that the most common form of ovarian cancer may originate in the fallopian tubes, the thin fibrous tunnels that connect the ovaries to the uterus. Now, results of a ...
Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh have identified a novel trigger for a deadly form of ovarian cancer: a subset of progenitor cells that reside in fallopian tube supportive tissue, or stroma ...
The scientists also collected samples from STIC lesions and normal cells from four women who had undergone prophylactic removal of their ovaries and fallopian tubes because of hereditary gene ...
A recent study demonstrated that the majority STICs are located in the vicinity of the tubal-peritoneal junction. 15 The tubal-peritoneal junctions connects the columnar epithelium of the fimbriated ...
Serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma (STIC) has been proposed as a precursor for many pelvic high-grade serous carcinomas. Our previous analysis of the ovarian cancer genome identified several genes ...
