法罗皮奥氏 管 癌症
Overview
输卵管癌, 也被称为输卵管癌, 在连接卵巢和子宫的输卵管中发育. It is very rare 和 accounts for only 1 percent to 2 percent of all gynecologic cancers. About 1,500 to 2,000 cases of fallopian tube cancer have been reported worldwide. Approximately 300 to 400 women are diagnosed with the condition annually in the United States.
It is more common for cancer to spread, or metastasize, from other parts of the body, such as the 卵巢 or 子宫内膜癌症起源于输卵管的可能性要大得多.
输卵管癌通常影响50至60岁的女性, 尽管它可以发生在任何年龄. 这在生育很少或没有孩子的高加索女性中更为常见.
由于这种癌症非常罕见,人们对其病因知之甚少. 然而,研究人员正在调查基因是否起作用. 有证据表明,遗传了这种基因的女性 乳房 和 卵巢癌, called BRCA1, are also at an increased risk of developing fallopian tube cancer.

迹象 & 症状
Symptoms of fallopian tube cancer also may mimic those of other gynecological problems. 这种疾病的一些更常见的症状可能包括:
- 阴道异常出血,尤其是在 更年期
- 腹痛腹部疼痛或腹部压迫感
- 阴道分泌物异常,呈白色、透明或粉红色
- A pelvic mass at the time of diagnosis, which is present in up to two-thirds of patients
诊断
因为输卵管癌非常罕见, 它的症状可能与其他问题相似, 它可能很难诊断. 另外, 在某些情况下, women don't learn they have fallopian tube cancer until a tube has been removed surgically during an operation to treat another illness or problem.
然而, there are several tests that 可以执行 in order to make a definite diagnosis of the condition. First your doctor will start by asking about any 症状 you may be experiencing, as well as reviewing your medical history 和 conducting a thorough physical exam. 可执行的其他测试包括:
- 骨盆检查. 这个检查包括摸子宫, 阴道, 卵巢, 输卵管, 检查膀胱和直肠的形状和大小是否有异常.
- CA125检测. 这是一种检查血液中CA125蛋白水平的血液检查, which is a tumor marker for gynecological diseases such as fallopian tube cancer. An estimated 85 percent of women with gynecological disease have increased levels of CA125. 然而, it is important to note that increased levels of CA125 may not necessarily mean that a woman has cancer, 因为CA125水平也可能在 怀孕月经时,出现其他非癌性 妇科疾病 或者影响身体其他部位的癌症.
- 计算机断层扫描(CT). 这 成像测试 拍摄一系列身体内部区域的详细照片. 这些图片是由一台与x光机相连的计算机生成的. A special dye may be injected into a vein or swallowed to help the organs or tissues show up more clearly.
- 超声波. An 骨盆超声检查 可以执行. 这 test involves the use of high-frequency sound waves to create images of organs 和 systems within the body. These waves, which cannot be heard by humans, create a pattern of echoes called a sonogram. Healthy tissues, fluid-filled cysts, 和 tumors look different on this picture.
治疗
Treatment for fallopian tube cancer usually involves surgery, followed by chemotherapy. 治疗将取决于你的年龄, 你想要孩子的愿望, 还有肿瘤的类型和阶段.
手术
手术通常是治疗输卵管癌的第一步. 通常需要切除子宫, 子宫颈, 输卵管和卵巢, 一种叫做全腹检查的手术 子宫切除术. 在这个过程中, specific areas outside of the 输卵管 are sampled to see if any cancer has spread. 如果癌症已经扩散到输卵管以外, 尽可能多地切除肿瘤是非常重要的.
化疗
In some cases, chemotherapy may be recommended as a follow-up treatment to surgery. 化疗使用药物杀死癌细胞. Drugs may be given by mouth or they may be put into the body by a needle in the vein or muscle. 化疗 is called systemic treatment because the drug enters the blood stream, 在体内流动,可以杀死全身的癌细胞.
