Article Synopsis
- Scientists have found that high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) mostly starts in the fallopian tubes instead of the ovaries, but why this happens is still a mystery.
- The study shows that cells in the fallopian tubes are different from those on the ovarian surface, which helps explain why cancers arise from the tubes.
- They discovered that these fallopian tube cells have more problems dealing with stress and repairing DNA, and certain genetic factors make the cancer even worse, especially after menopause.
