Fallopian tube cancer is a rare type of cancer that begins in the cells of the fallopian tubes, which are the tubes that connect the ovaries to the uterus. The exact causes of fallopian tube cancer are not well understood, but some potential risk factors include age, genetic mutations, and a family history of breast or ovarian cancer. Symptoms of fallopian tube cancer may include abdominal pain or swelling, bloating, changes in bowel habits, and abnormal vaginal bleeding. Diagnosis is typically made through imaging tests and biopsy, and treatment may involve surgery, chemotherapy, or a combination of these approaches depending on the stage and grade of the cancer. Regular gynecologic exams and imaging tests can help detect the cancer early when it is most treatable.
