N2 - Seventy-one cases of primary adenocarcinoma of the fallopian tube treated at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Hospital and Tumor Institute at Houston were reviewed. The most common presenting symptoms were abdominal pain, abnormal uterine bleeding, and vaginal discharge. The most common physical finding was a palpable abdominal or pelvic mass. The preoperative diagnosis was correct for two patients. Initial therapy consisted of surgery alone, surgery plus radiation therapy, surgery plus chemotherapy, and a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy in 10, 32, 21, and eight cases, respectively. The median survival for patients in these treatment groups was 33, 22, 27, and 22 months, respectively; the median survival for all patients was 23 months. No statistically significant differences emerged among the survival curves of patients treated with each of the above regimens.
