TI  - Fallopian tube carcinoma: a review.
PG  - 902-12
AB  - PURPOSE: Primary fallopian tube carcinoma (PFTC) is a rare tumor that 
      histologically and clinically resembles epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). The 
      purpose of this study is to review the current available literature data on PFTC. 
      PATIENTS AND RESULTS: Early clinical manifestation and prompt investigation often 
      lead to diagnosis at an early stage of disease. However, the diagnosis of PFTC is 
      rarely considered preoperatively and is usually first appreciated by the 
      pathologist. Surgical staging/management and the use of chemotherapy follow the 
      concepts used in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). In contrast to EOC is the 
      importance of early lymphatic spread in this disease. The earlier diagnosis of 
      PFTC leads to an apparent better survival compared with EOC. However, as with 
      EOC, stage and residual tumor are the most important prognostic variables. 
      CONCLUSION: Until more extensive clinical research has been performed, ovarian 
      carcinoma management principles should be used in clinical practice.
