Purpose. Primary fallopian tube carcinoma (PFTC) is a rare tumor that histologically and clinically resembles epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). The purpose of this study is to review the current available literature data on PFTC.Patients and Results. Early clinical manifestation and prompt investigation often lead to diagnosis at an early stage of disease. However, the diagnosis of PFTC is rarely considered preoperatively and is usually first appreciated by the pathologist. Surgical staging/management and the use of chemotherapy follow the concepts used in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). In contrast to EOC is the importance of early lymphatic spread in this disease. The earlier diagnosis of PFTC leads to an apparent better survival compared with EOC. However, as with EOC, stage and residual tumor are the most important prognostic variables.Conclusion. Until more extensive clinical research has been performed, ovarian carcinoma management principles should be used in clinical practice. The Oncologist 2006;11:902-912

Among patients with cancer of the uterine adnexa in the 3 Danish Radium Centres, 38 were found to have tubal cancer. The diagnosis is difficult; the most important factor in early recognition is to bear in mind the possibility of tubal cancer when dealing with patients in the high‐incidence age group. During recent years, the incidence of the disease has been increasing. Age distribution, the side affected, and sterility were in accordance with previous findings. The prognosis depends more upon the clinical determination of spread of the disease at diagnosis than upon histologic grade. Exploratory laparotomy, which permits the diagnosis to be made on the operating table and the surgical procedure to be adapted accordingly, affords the best prognosis, if surgery is supplemented by high‐voltage irradiation. Since the introduction of high‐voltage therapy, there has been an increased 2‐1/2 year survival and an extension of the period without recurrence.
