Primary fallopian tube cancer (PFTC), also known as tubal cancer, is a malignant neoplasm that originates from the fallopian tube. [ 1 ] [ 3 ] Along with primary ovarian and peritoneal carcinomas , it is grouped under epithelial ovarian cancers; cancers of the ovary that originate from a fallopian tube precursor.
All epithelia of the female genital tract – Fallopian tubes, endometrium, endocervix, ectocervix, upper vagina - are derived from the embryonal Müllerian ducts. Extra-uterine Müllerian epithelium includes the distal end of the Fallopian tubes (the fimbriae), and instances of endosalpingiosis, endometriosis and endocervicosis. Supporting:
A malignant mixed Müllerian tumor, also known as malignant mixed mesodermal tumor (MMMT) is a cancer found in the uterus, the ovaries, the fallopian tubes and other parts of the body that contains both carcinomatous (epithelial tissue) and sarcomatous (connective tissue) components.
An ovarian cancer research group is urging women, regardless of risk, to consider removing their fallopian tubes if they are done having children and undergoing other gynecological surgeries.
Ovarian cancer is a cancerous tumor of an ovary. [10] It may originate from the ovary itself or more commonly from communicating nearby structures such as fallopian tubes or the inner lining of the abdomen. [3] [11] The ovary is made up of three different cell types including epithelial cells, germ cells, and stromal cells. [12]

Unlike the more common low-grade endometrioid endometrial adenocarcinoma, uterine serous carcinoma does not develop from endometrial hyperplasia and is not hormone ...
Endometrial cancer frequently metastasizes to the ovaries and Fallopian tubes [32] when the cancer is located in the upper part of the uterus, and the cervix when the cancer is in the lower part of the uterus. The cancer usually first spreads into the myometrium and the serosa, then into other
