Abstract excerpt
The discovery of occult invasive and intra-epithelial tubal carcinomas in BRCA1 mutation carriers undergoing prophylactic surgery has implicated the fallopian tube epithelium as the source of serous cancer. However, little is known of the early molecular events of serous oncogenesis, or why cancers in BRCA1 mutation carriers are found preferentially in tissues which are responsive to reproductive hormones.
