A novel origin for pelvic serous cancer (ovarian cancer) has been proposed in the distal oviduct. This has important implications, including both early detection in high-risk women and wisdom of relying on serological tests to detect a disease that begins so close to the peritoneal surfaces. With the recent discovery of -premalignant disturbances in gene function in the tubal mucosa the concept of targeted prevention is emerging whereby the interruption of a portion of the carcinogenic pathway will prevent cancer. This alternative to detecting early malignancy is a new paradigm in the quest to prevent this deadly disease.
