How Fallopian Tube Removal Could Prevent Most Common Ovarian Cancer
Their findings were confirmed
In the study, the researchers examined genetically-altered tumor samples from 9 patients with HGSOC. All of the patients had lesions in their fallopian tubes that had been removed. The researchers discovered that the genetic changes seen in the patients’ ovarian tumors could also be seen in the fallopian lesions, which had formed several years earlier. This led them to conclude that there is a strong connection between the development of HGSOC and cancerous changes to the P53 gene in the tubes, also known as serous tubal intraepithelial carcinomas.
