Accumulating evidence suggests that many ovarian high-grade serous carcinomas (HGSCs) originate in the fallopian tube. Malignant cells shed by tubal lesions can be detected by examination of ...

The fallopian tubes (or simply tubes) are paired tubular structures, one on either side of the uterus (womb). They link the ovaries to the uterus. In women of reproductive age, the ovaries produce ...

In recent years it has become clear that many extra-uterine (pelvic) high-grade serous carcinomas (serous carcinomas) are preceded by a precursor lesion in the distal fallopian tube. Precursors range ...

Researchers in Japan have revealed the mechanism that determines the direction of the transportation of eggs in the fallopian tube. Fallopian tubes, or oviducts, connect the ovaries and uterus. They ...

Ovarian carcinomas may be seeded from primary tumors that develop in fallopian tube epithelia. The disease apparently spreads from the fallopian tube to the ovaries over the course of 6 to 7 years.

Blocked fallopian tubes, or tubal occlusion, are one possible cause of infertility. There are usually no symptoms, but certain risk factors can increase the risk of developing the condition. The ...

Endometriosis is a common and painful disease that affects about 5.5 million women in North America and is one of the top three causes of infertility in women. The problem is that this tissue behaves ...

Removing fallopian tubes during sterilization is about as safe as sterilization procedures that damage the tubes but leave them intact, a new study suggests — a finding that could help reduce some ...

Female infertility can be related to many things, including total or partial obstruction in one or both of the fallopian tubes. When obstructions prevent sperm from reaching an egg to fertilise it, ...

THE presence of ectopic pregnancy in a supernumerary fallopian tube is sufficiently unusual to warrant the report of a case. Novak 1 states that "duplication in the form of a third tube is very rare." ...
