[Tubal adenocarcinoma. Apropos of 4 cases and review of the literature].

Abstract

The authors describe 4 cases of tubal cancer reported in the gynaecology department of the University Hospital in Caen and review the international literature. If all authors are in agreement on the early symptoms (leukorrhea, haemorrhages, pelvic pain), the lack of diagnosis before the procedure, the lack of information regarding the staging and the grading, as well as the surgical and radiation treatment, there is, above all, controversy regarding the use of chemotherapy, since the low number of patients in the different series does not permit reaching a conclusion.
