Normal fallopian tube epithelium comprises of both secretory and ciliated cells and stains negative for p53. The benign ‘p53 signature’: secretory cells that possess strong p53 expression and evidence of DNA damage but are not proliferative. When they progress to serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma or ‘STIC’, they acquire nuclear pleomorphism, mitoses, and loss of polarity. Serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma shares all these properties with invasive high grade serous epithelial ovarian cancer and clinical symptoms typically emerge with advanced disease. | Normal fallopian tube epithelium comprises of both secretory and ciliated cells and stains negative for p53.
