The discovery that most ovarian cancers start, not in the ovaries, but the Fallopian tubes, means there may be a way to help prevent a disease that kills about 1000 women in Australia each year.

Yan research group has solved a longstanding scientific debate about the mechanism underlying the gamete and embryo transport within the Fallopian tube. Using a mouse model where the animals lacked ...

To prevent more cases of ovarian cancer, a major research and advocacy group is suggesting an aggressive prevention strategy: remove a woman's fallopian tubes if she is undergoing pelvic surgery for ...

A new way of growing fallopian tube cells in culture is expected to give a boost to our understanding and prevention of female gynecological diseases, such as infertility, inflammatory disease, and ...

The fallopian tubes—long, slender structures connecting the ovaries and the uterus—play an important role in women’s reproductive health. Their fringed ends collect the egg from the ovary, coaxing it ...

A new way of growing fallopian tube cells in culture is expected to give a boost to our understanding and prevention of female genital diseases, such as infertility, inflammatory disease, and ovarian ...

A simple treatment known as "fallopian tube recanalization," which often needs to do little more than remove a small amount of mucus causing the blockage, could allow a higher percentage of women ...

Because there is no effective screening method to catch ovarian cancer at an early stage, most diagnoses occur when the cancer has reached its later stages. As a result, only about half of women with ...

A top research group is urging even women without genetic risks to have their fallopian tubes removed under certain circumstances. By Roni Caryn Rabin There is no reliable screening test for ovarian ...

Stem cell scientists at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center have revealed the origins of a common type of ovarian cancer by modeling fallopian tube tissues. Studies using the fallopian tube organoids allowed ...

A new way of growing Fallopian tube cells in culture is expected to give a boost to our understanding and prevention of female genital diseases, such as infertility, inflammatory disease, and ovarian ...
