Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: BRCA-1 and BRCA-2 germline mutations increase the risk of ovarian and breast cancer. Primary cancer of the fallopian tube is rare; however, recent evidence suggests that patients harboring a germline mutation conferring an increased risk of ovarian cancer may be at risk for fallopian tube cancer as well. We discuss the finding of occult fallopian tube cancer diagnosed at surgical prophylaxis in women...
