Carcinoma of fallopian tube diagnosis

If you have fallopian tube cancer, it is important to get a concise diagnosis as soon as possible. This can help increase your chances of successful treatment. However, diagnosing fallopian tube cancer is challenging because:


This is a rare cancer


The symptoms are vague, just like the others


Finding cancer in the fallopian tubes is difficult


Fallopian tube diagnostic examination

If your symptoms may indicate fallopian tube cancer, your doctor will examine you and ask you questions about your health and family medical history. A pelvic exam will examine your uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes and vagina. If a lump is found, your doctor will do more tests.


One or more of the following tests can be used to check if you have fallopian tube cancer and if it has spread. These tests can also be used to determine if a treatment is working. Imaging tests, which may include:


Pelvic ultrasound


Transvaginal ultrasound (ultrasound from a special stick inserted into the vagina)


CT or CAT (computerized axial tomography) scan


Magnetic resonance imaging scan


Biopsy: Cells are removed from the fallopian tubes and viewed under a microscope. This is the only way to know for sure if you have fallopian tube cancer. Surgery is usually required.


CA125 test: This blood test checks for levels of CA125, a known tumor marker for gynecological disorders. A high level of CA125 may mean you need more tests, but it doesn't always mean you have fallopian tube cancer.
