ADENOCARCINOMA OF FALLOPIAN-TUBE - EXPERIENCE WITH 41 PATIENTS

Abstract

Forty-one cases of primary fallopian tube carcinoma treated from 1946-1976 are described. The overall 5-yr survival rate was 34.4%, although patients with early tumors had a 72.7% survival rate. The single most important factor affecting survival appeared to be the extent of disease at the time of diagnosis. Past and present treatment modalities are discussed, and proposals for management of this disease are outlined.
