Surgery and radiotherapy in the treatment of primary carcinoma of the Fallopian tube--report of 18 cases

Aust N Z J Obstet Gynaecol. 1985 Aug;25(3):211-5. doi: 10.1111/j.1479-828x.1985.tb00646.x.

Abstract

Eighteen cases of primary Fallopian tube carcinoma referred to Christie Hospital, Manchester over the years 1966 to 1980 are reviewed. The overall 5-year survival rate was 14.4%. Treatment by total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy resulted in a longer survival compared to bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy or removal of the tumour alone. Postoperative radiotherapy did not seem to improve survival.
