"Ovarian" carcinogenesis actually tubal?

[edit]

The past few years have shown that many "ovarian" carcinomas are in fact of tubal origin. Going back to 2008,[1] with "Ovarian carcinogenesis: an alternative hypothesis", and leading up to nearly the present, with "From the Ovary to the Fallopian Tube: A History of Ovarian Carcinogenesis"[2], it appears that the picture of tubal carcinoma has changed.

As a non-expert, it seems to me that the relevant WP articles are not keeping up. Are there editors who are subject experts who would like to update the Fallopian tube cancer and Ovarian cancer articles to reflect this changing conceptual framework?--Quisqualis (talk) 06:32, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
