7. Fallopian Tube
Approximate Five Year Survival by Stages
(corrected to exclude death from intercurrent disease)
It should be noted that these figures are approximations of five-year survival data collected from large numbers of patients within a given stage. Extreme caution should be used in attempting to use these data to assign prognosis in an individual case.
| Low Risk |

| Moderate Risk |

7.1 Staging
1) Classification Criteria (FIGO Staging)
| Stage |

Growth limited to the tube |
| |
Ia |
Growth limited to one tube; no ascites |
| |
Ib |
Growth limited to both tubes; no ascites |
| |
Ic |
Growth limited to one or both tubes; ascites present with malignant cells in fluid |
| Stage |
II |
Growth involving one or both tubes with pelvic extension |
| |
IIa |
Extension and/or metastasis to the uterus or ovary |
| |
IIb |
Extension to other pelvic tissues |
| Stage |
