Fallopian tube cancer
Fallopian Tubes are the connections between a woman's ovaries and uterus and are a major part of the reproductive system. Fallopian Tube Cancer starts when there is an abnormal growth of cells that forms a tumor. The most common type of tumour is an adenocarcinoma, which is a tumor formed from the abnormal growth of glandular cells. There are also tumors that can start from muscle cells and the wall lining of the fallopian tubes but these are the less common types of Fallopian Tube cancer. Symptoms include excessive vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain, vaginal discharge, irregular menstrual cycle, and a noticeable pelvic lump. If it is diagnosed at the early stage, Fallopian Tube Cancer can often be easily treated.
