Fallopian Tube Cancer Doctor in Indore

Fallopian tube cancer is a low-occurrence cancer that originates within the ducts (fallopian tubes) that carry the eggs produced in the ovaries to the uterus. It used to be regarded as the rarest of the gynecological cancers, and it is now becoming evident that many of the high-grade serous ovarian cancers actually start in the fallopian tubes.

Types of Fallopian tube cancer.

Epithelial (Serous) Cancer: It is the most prevalent form, and it begins in the epithelial cells lining the tube. The most common and aggressive form is the high-grade serous carcinoma.

Other Uncommon Varieties: There can be clear cell, endometrioid, and mucinous carcinomas, but these are rarer.

Borderline Tumors: Comprising abnormal epithelial cells, although it is less invasive than carcinomas.

Sarcomas: A rare tumor that develops out of connective tissues in the body.

Symptoms

Unusual or runny vaginal discharge.

Between periods or after menopause, vaginal bleeding.
