Fallopian Tube Cancer Treatment Cost In Barcelona

Cost of Fallopian Tube Cancer Treatment in Barcelona: Detailed Overview

Fallopian tube cancer develops in the fallopian tubes that connect the ovaries with the uterus. This rare gynecological cancer may lead to ovarian cancer. Women having BRCA gene mutations are more at risk. It accounts for only 1-2% of all gynecologic cancers.

Treatment usually involves surgery, followed by chemotherapy.

Surgery, typically the first step, involves the removal of the uterus, cervix, fallopian tubes, and ovaries, a procedure called a total abdominal hysterectomy. If cancer spreads beyond the fallopian tubes, the surgeon removes as much tumor as possible.

Chemotherapy uses drugs to kill cancer cells present throughout the body.
