title: [Therapy of primary fallopian tube cancer--a retrospective study of 30 cases].
abstract: Between the years 1968-1988 30 patients with primary carcinoma of the fallopian tube were treated in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of the University of Kiel. In 27 cases the initial treatment consisted of total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. In 3 cases where the patients had undergone surgical treatment in another hospital a second operation for completion was performed. 2 patients received no further treatment after surgery. Postoperative radiotherapy was given to 20 patients and a combined treatment with radiation and polychemotherapy was implemented in 5 cases. Postoperative treatment in 3 patients was poly-chemotherapy alone. The 5-year-survival rate taking all tumor stages and modes of therapy employed into consideration was 36.7%. In analysing the survival rate for small numbers as directly related to postoperative treatment a 5-year-survival rate for radiotherapy of 35% (7/20) and for radiation therapy plus poly-chemotherapy of 40% (2/5) was found. After operative treatment followed by poly-chemotherapy alone one of three patients survived after 5 years.
