Primary adenocarcinoma localized to the fallopian tubes: report on 33 cases.
Thirty-three cases of primary adenocarcinoma localized to the fallopian tubes were analyzed according to prognostic factors such as depth of infiltration, tumor differentiation, and lymph vessel invasion. Fifteen patients (45, 5%) died of recurrence within 5 years. Only for positive vessel invasion was the survival significance worse. Combination chemotherapy seems promising compared to radiotherapy in these early stages.
