How to check for fallopian tube cancer

The fallopian tube is a very important part of the female body, and fallopian tube cancer is also a common disease. Suffering from fallopian tube cancer will have a great impact on the health of the female body. There are many ways to check for fallopian tube cancer. Generally, women with fallopian tube cancer will easily have vaginal discharge, the amount of discharge is relatively large, and there is obvious pain in the lower abdomen. This can be checked through gynecological tumor tests.

How to check for fallopian tube cancer?

Clinically, fallopian tube cancer often presents with vaginal discharge, which has no odor but is relatively large in amount. A lump can be felt in the lower abdomen, and there is pain in the lower abdomen. B-ultrasound examination can be done, mainly to understand whether there is hydrosalpinx or sausage-like mass in the adnexal area. If there is a high possibility of fallopian tube cancer, three gynecological tumor tests can be done. After the diagnosis is confirmed, surgical resection treatment can be carried out in time.

There are three major clinical symptoms of fallopian tube cancer. The first is vaginal discharge, which is often a large amount of serous secretions. This secretion usually has no odor, but is large in amount, like water. Second, patients often feel a lump in the lower abdomen. Third, the patient will feel pain in the lower abdomen. If any of these three conditions occur, fallopian tube cancer will be highly suspected clinically, and an ultrasound examination can be performed, mainly to understand whether there is hydrosalpinx or sausage-like mass in the adnexal area. If so, it is highly suspected to be fallopian tube cancer. Three gynecological tumor tests can be done, and timely surgical removal and treatment are recommended.

In cases of varying degrees of abdominal mass accompanied by vaginal discharge, we need to rule out malignant tumors of the fallopian tubes. B-ultrasound examination can determine the location, size, nature of the tumor and the presence or absence of ascites.

The second situation is that the uterine cavity and cervical cytology examinations indicate negative results, but atypical epithelial ciliated cells can be seen in the image, indicating the possibility of fallopian tube cancer.

We perform this segmented uterine curettage to rule out cervical cancer and endometrial cancer, but we must highly suspect fallopian tube cancer. Some laparoscopic examinations can reveal that the fallopian tube is thickened, and it may be in the shape of an eggplant. Sometimes growths can also be seen. CT and MRI examinations are more meaningful for staging and determining whether the lymph nodes are enlarged and for treatment.
