TI  - The incidence of primary fallopian tube cancer in the United States.
PG  - 392-7
AB  - OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to report the incidence of primary 
      fallopian tube carcinoma (PFTC) in the United States population and to describe 
      associated demographic and clinical factors. METHODS: A total of 3051 PFTC cases 
      diagnosed from 1998 to 2003, reported from population-based cancer registries, 
      were analyzed. Registries contributing data represent 83.1% of the U.S. 
      population. Data are presented by age, race/ethnicity, U.S. census region, stage, 
      histology, grade, and laterality. Trends in incidence over time from 1998 to 2003 
      are also presented. RESULTS: The incidence rate was 0.41 per 100,000 women from 
      1998 to 2003. White, non-Hispanic women and women aged 60-79 had the highest 
      incidence rates (p<0.0001). The majority (88%) of PFTCs were adenocarcinomas; 
      serous adenocarcinomas accounted for 44% and endometrioid adenocarcinomas for 19% 
      of adenocarcinoma diagnoses. Essentially half (49.9%) of PFTCs were poorly 
      differentiated; 89% were unilateral at diagnosis. Stage at diagnosis was fairly 
      evenly distributed among localized (36%), regional (30%), and distant (32%). 
      Overall, rates of PFTC remained stable over time. Among women aged 65-69, 
      incidence rates increased significantly by 3.8% per year from 1998 to 2003 
      (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: This report provides characteristics of PFTC using the 
      largest number of cases assembled in one study to date. Although the demographic 
      characteristics of PFTC are similar to those of ovarian cancer, stage at 
      diagnosis and the stable trend observed in PFTC are in contrast to ovarian 
      cancer. Future studies should focus on examining the increasing trend of PFTC 
      among 65- to 69-year-old women.
