Fallopian Tube Cancer

Fallopian tube cancer is a rare type of cancer that develops in the fallopian tubes, which connect the ovaries to the uterus. It often goes undetected until it has progressed, as symptoms can be vague and resemble other conditions. Common signs may include unusual vaginal bleeding, pelvic pain, or abdominal swelling. The exact causes are not well understood, but factors like genetics, age, and reproductive history may play a role. Treatment typically involves surgery to remove the affected tube, and may also include chemotherapy to target any remaining cancer cells. Early detection improves treatment outcomes.
