It is also worth noting that our analysis adds to a growing body of evidence that “ovarian” cancers occur frequently in the Fallopian tubes—we found that occult serous “ovarian” cancers in BRCA1 mutation carriers are approximately twice as likely to be found in the Fallopian tubes as in the ovaries [14],[15],[18],[20],[22]. Here, BRCA1 is linked to ovarian carcinoma.
