“…Fallopian tube carcinoma patients show an overall survival of 30-50% which is slightly better than the reported 25-40% for epithelial ovarian cancer (Momtazee and Kempson, 1968;Baekelandt et al, 1993;Barakat et al, 1993;Woolas et al, 1994;Alvarado-Cabrero et al, 1999;Piura and Rabinovich, 2000). The general 5-year survival rate is about 65% (Sedlis, 1978;Deppe et al, 1980;Inal et al, 2004). Kosary and colleagues found in a cohort of 416 women with fallopian tube carcinoma 5 year-survival rates of 95% for stage I (n=102), 75% for stage II (n=29), 69% for stage III (n= 52) and 45% for stage IV (n=151) (Kosary and Trimble, 2002).…”
