Incidence

Carcinoma of the fallopian tube is uncommon and accounts for only 0.3% of all cancers of the female genital tract (1). More commonly the fallopian tubes^(G) are involved secondarily from other tumour^(G) sites including ovary, endometrium^(G), gastrointestinal tract and breast.

Cancer of the fallopian tubes^(G) is very uncommon. For instance, the Queensland Centre for Gynaecological Cancer saw only five cases of cancer of the fallopian tubes in 1998.
