Scientists track ovarian cancers to site of origin: Fallopian tubes

2018-01-26T14:05:31+00:00

Scientists track ovarian cancers to site of origin: Fallopian tubes October 23, 2017 A genomic study suggests that most ovarian cancers originate in the fallopian tube. Credit: Carolyn Hruban Some scientists have suspected that the most common form of ovarian cancer may originate in the fallopian tubes, the thin fibrous [...]
