Overview

NCI Definition: An adenocarcinoma that arises from the fallopian tube. Histologic subtypes include clear cell, endometrioid, serous, and mucinous adenocarcinoma. It spreads to adjacent organs, regional lymph nodes, and peritoneum. [1]

Fallopian tube adenocarcinomas most frequently harbor alterations in TP53, NOTCH3, CCNE1, BRD4, and SMARCA4 [2].

Most Commonly Altered Genes in Fallopian Tube Adenocarcinoma

TP53 Mutation, TP53 c.217-c.1178 Missense, TP53 Missense, TP53 Exon 8 Mutation, and TP53fs are the most common alterations in fallopian tube adenocarcinoma [2].
