Abstract | Objective: Recent evidence suggests that the fimbriated end of the fallopian tube harbors the precursor cells for many high-grade ovarian cancers, opening the door for development of better screening methods that directly assess the fallopian tube in women at risk for malignancy. Previously we have shown that the karyometric signature is abnormal in the fallopian tube epithelium in women at hereditary risk of ovarian cancer. In this study, we sought to determine whether the karyometric signature in serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma (STIC) is significantly different from normal, and whether an abnormal karyometric signature can be detected in histologically normal tubal epithelial cells adjacent to STIC lesions. Methods: The karyometric signature was measured in epithelial cells from the proximal and fimbriated portion of the fallopian tube in fallopian tube specimens removed from women at: 1) average risk for ovarian cancer undergoing surgery for benign gynecologic indications (n = 37), 2) hereditary risk of ovarian cancer (germline BRCA alterations) undergoing risk-reducing surgery (n = 44), and 3) diagnosed with fimbrial STICs (n = 17). Results: The karyometric signature in tubes with fimbrial STICs differed from that of tubes with benign histology. The degree of karyometric alteration increased with increasing proximity to fimbrial STICs, ranging from moderate in the proximal portion of the tube, to greatest in both normal appearing fimbrial cells near STICs as well as in fimbrial STIC lesions. Conclusion: These data demonstrate an abnormal karyometric signature in STICs that may extend beyond the STIC, potentially providing an opportunity for early detection of fallopian tube neoplasia. |
