- Abstract
The article presents a study which compares the clinical characteristics and outcome of fallopian tube (FT) and ovarian cancer. It was found that patients with FT tumors, advanced age and stage were independent predictors of decreased survival. It observed that when stratified by stage, survival was similar for stage I and II tumors, but stage III and IV patients had an improved survival. It concluded that FT cancers have a better overall survival than primary ovarian malignancies.
