Primary tubal carcinoma.
Fourteen patients were studied in a retrospective review of malignancies of the fallopian tube in the Maternity Section of La Paz Hospital, Madrid, over a period of 19 years. Three patients were excluded at reassessment. Adenocarcinoma was the most common histological type. Eight patients have survived but one of them has had a relapse. None were diagnosed prior to surgery. A comparative study of survival and stage, muscular invasion and grade of cellular differentiation was performed. It is concluded that the best results are obtained when adjuvant treatment with polychemotherapy containing platinum is used.
