AB  - Vaughan MM, Evans BD, Weitzer MJ. Survival of patients with primary fallopian 
      tube carcinoma. Int J Gynecol Cancer 1998; 8: 16-22. Thirty-seven patients with 
      primary fallopian tube carcinoma (PFTC) presenting between 1952 and 1995 were 
      studied. The mean age was 57 years. Seven patients had stage I disease, 20 stage 
      II, 8 stage III, and 2 stage IV. Actuarial 5-year survivals were 73% for stage I, 
      33% for stage II and 0% for stage III. Stage was a significant predictor of 
      survival at 5 years (Stage I vs. III, P = 0.0006; stage II vs. III, P = 0.0001), 
      however, the majority of patients, even with early stage disease, died of 
      progressive PFTC within 10 years. Grade appeared highly significant at 5 and 10 
      years (Grades 1 & 2 vs. 3, P = 0. 0023). Neither age nor lymphocytic infiltrate 
      appeared definitely predictive of survival. Eleven of 22 stage II patients 
      received adjuvant treatment. While their median and 5-year survivals were 
      superior to those not receiving adjuvant treatment (51 vs. 30 months, 47% vs. 
      22%), the difference was not statistically significant. This retrospective 
      analysis confirms the poor prognosis of patients with PFTC. The majority of 
      patients, even with early stage tumors, eventually succumb to their disease. 
      Larger studies may identify a group of patients potentially curable with surgery 
      alone, and clarify the role of adjuvant therapy.
