Assessment of a new system for primary site assignment in high-grade serous carcinoma of the fallopian tube, ovary, and peritoneum.

Abstract

The available evidence indicates that most non-uterine high-grade serous carcinomas (HGSCs) arise from the fallopian tube (FT), but approaches to primary site assignment have not evolved to reflect this. The aim of this study was to assess the application of recently proposed criteria for site assignment.
