The article presents a study that aims to analyze pathological and clinical prognostic factors in patients with primary fallopian tube carcinoma (PFTC). The study shows that reactivity for vascular endothelial growth factor was observed in 85% of specimens and progesterone receptors in 27%. Regarding clinical prognostic factors, the hazard ratio for advancement and death for patients with tumor residue >2 centimeter was 5.24 and 11.19.
