Summary: Eighteen cases of primary Fallopian tube carcinoma referred to Christie Hospital, Manchester over the years 1966 to 1980 are reviewed. The overall 5‐year survival rate was 14.4%. Treatment by total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo‐oophorectomy resulted in a longer survival compared to bilateral salpingo‐oophorectomy or removal of the tumour alone. Postoperative radiotherapy did not seem to improve survival.
