Abstract |
Observations indicate three different tissues of origin for ovarian carcinoma. The ovarian surface epithelium, oviduct epithelium (TSE), and derivates of the Müllerian duct. This chapter discusses the TSE-related ovarian carcinogenesis (exfoliation theory). Recent evidence from prophylactic removed ovaries and Fallopian tubes shows (pre)neoplastic lesions primarily within the tubes and not in the ovaries, putting another light on the malignant potential of the tubal epithelium and possibly ovarian carcinogenesis. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 6. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 06 April 2024.
All research outputs
#4,850,097
of 23,371,053 outputs
Outputs from Advances in experimental medicine and biology
#824
of 5,017 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#16,139
of 83,012 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Advances in experimental medicine and biology
#2
of 4 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,371,053 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 76th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 5,017 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.2. This one has done well, scoring higher than 83% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 83,012 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 72% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 4 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 2 of them.
