Fallopian tube cancer starts in the fallopian tubes, which connect a woman's ovaries to her uterus. Each month, an ovary releases one egg into the fallopian tube. The egg either gets fertilized by sperm, or it passes out of the body during a menstrual period.
Fallopian tube cancer is very rare. Only about 1% of all reproductive cancers in women start in the fallopian tubes.
This type of cancer is treatable. If you're diagnosed with it, your doctor can help you understand your options.
