title: [Clinical and pathological aspects of primary carcinoma of the fallopian tube (author's transl)].
abstract: A report is presented of 24 cases of primary carcinoma of the Fallopian tube, histologically confirmed between 1956 and 1971 at the laboratory of the 2nd Gynaecological Department, University of Vienna, Austria. All patients underwent surgery. Total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-ophorectomy was performed in 16 cases. All patients received radiotherapy after surgery. All patients in whom the carcinoma was not confined to the Fallopian tubes (stages II to IV) died within 5 years (average 2.6 years). Patients with stage I lesions survived longer than 5 years only in those cases with more highly differentiated carcinomas (grades I and II). Histological grading, therefore, seems to enable a more reliable prognosis of stage I carcinoma of the Fallopian tube.
