Removing the Fallopian Tubes to Prevent Ovarian Cancer – Something to Consider
New information strongly suggests that most ovarian cancers originate, not in the ovary, but in the fallopian tube. If this is so, then removal of the fallopian tubes may actually prevent ovarian cancer.

35 yr old patient with USG suggesting ovarian cyst (with no definite symptoms), shows on MRI large (approximate 7 cm), well defined , regular , thin walled (less than3 mm) , septated, with different loculi showing different signal intensities with free fluid in pelvis suggests cystadenoma ( mucinous variety) with papillary projections suggesting borderline or malignant potential consideration

How that knowledge is obtained and communicated is the art and science of our profession. These minimal diagnostic guidelines are designed to be used as an aid, not a constraint, in that process. The guidelines are presented in a specific format out of necessity, but any format that effectively communicates the necessary information in a given patho...
