“…The U.S. incidence rate for PFTC (0.41 per 100,000) was similar to those reported in Denmark and Finland of 0.3 and 0.5 per 100,000, respectively [22,23]. White women in the United States had significantly higher rates of PFTC than other women, a finding consistent with ovarian cancer.…”

Objective. The objective of this study was to report the incidence of primary fallopian tube carcinoma (PFTC) in the United States population and to describe associated demographic and clinical factors.Methods. A total of 3051 PFTC cases diagnosed from 1998 to 2003, reported from population-based cancer registries, were analyzed. Registries contributing data represent 83.1% of the U.S. population. Data are presented by age, race/ethnicity, U.S. census region, stage, histology, grade, and laterality. Trends in incidence over time from 1998 to 2003 are also presented.Results. The incidence rate was 0.41 per 100,000 women from 1998 to 2003. White, non-Hispanic women and women aged 60-79 had the highest incidence rates ( p b 0.0001). The majority (88%) of PFTCs were adenocarcinomas; serous adenocarcinomas accounted for 44% and endometrioid adenocarcinomas for 19% of adenocarcinoma diagnoses. Essentially half (49.9%) of PFTCs were poorly differentiated; 89% were unilateral at diagnosis. Stage at diagnosis was fairly evenly distributed among localized (36%), regional (30%), and distant (32%). Overall, rates of PFTC remained stable over time. Among women aged 65-69, incidence rates increased significantly by 3.8% per year from 1998 to 2003 ( p b 0.05).Conclusions. This report provides characteristics of PFTC using the largest number of cases assembled in one study to date. Although the demographic characteristics of PFTC are similar to those of ovarian cancer, stage at diagnosis and the stable trend observed in PFTC are in contrast to ovarian cancer. Future studies should focus on examining the increasing trend of PFTC among 65-to 69-year-old women. Published by Elsevier Inc.

“…The vast majority of PFTCs (89%) are unilateral at diagnosis, and about 30% are diagnosed at each localized, regional and distant stages (Stewart et al, 2007). U.S. PFTC rates are similar to those reported from Finland (0.3) (Riska et al, 2003) and Denmark (0.5) (Pfeiffer et al, 1989). U.S. studies have suggested that the rates of both PPC (Goodman & Shvetsov, 2009a;Howe et al, 2001) and PFTC (Goodman & Shvetsov, 2009a;Stewart et al, 2007) are increasing.…”

“…A Japanese analysis based on data from several regional cancer registries reported a 1.5 fold increase in ovarian cancer rates from 1975 to 1993 (Tamakoshi et al, 2001). The Chinese Shanghai Cancer Registry also reported an increase in ovarian cancer incidence from 1979-1989(Jin et al, 1993. Some of these increases may be due to increases in population coverage or completeness of data within the registry; however, the Chinese increase is thought to be a birth cohort effect in women born between 1925-1935(Jin et al, 1993.…”

Purpose. Primary fallopian tube carcinoma (PFTC) is a rare tumor that histologically and clinically resembles epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). The purpose of this study is to review the current available literature data on PFTC.Patients and Results. Early clinical manifestation and prompt investigation often lead to diagnosis at an early stage of disease. However, the diagnosis of PFTC is rarely considered preoperatively and is usually first appreciated by the pathologist. Surgical staging/management and the use of chemotherapy follow the concepts used in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). In contrast to EOC is the importance of early lymphatic spread in this disease. The earlier diagnosis of PFTC leads to an apparent better survival compared with EOC. However, as with EOC, stage and residual tumor are the most important prognostic variables.Conclusion. Until more extensive clinical research has been performed, ovarian carcinoma management principles should be used in clinical practice. The Oncologist 2006;11:902-912
