Most cases of high-grade serous cancer (HSGC) ― the most lethal form of ovarian cancer ― arise from the fallopian tubes rather than the ovaries, concludes a literature review published in the April ...

Better ways to steer a tiny probe searching for ovarian cancer have been achieved by a team from the University of Arizona (UA). With 3000 optical elements - compared to 1000 typically - their device ...

An ovarian cancer research group recommends that even women at low risk for these malignancies consider removing their fallopian tubes when they get pelvic surgeries. There’s no way to screen for ...
