Cell-collecting falloposcope and method for ovarian cancer detection

A falloposcope, comprising:

• an elongated body having circumferential diameter less than one millimeter, the elongated body comprising a polymer extrusion;
• an efferent optical fiber extending through the elongated body from a proximal end of the elongate body to a distal end of the elongate body, the efferent optical fiber having a distal end at the distal end of the elongate body;
• an illuminator coupled to the efferent optical fiber near the proximal end of the elongate body;
• at least one steering wire extending through the elongate body and configured to, when pulled, bend a portion of the elongate body near the distal end of the elongate body;
• a lens assembly located at the distal end of the elongate body and configured to focus images on a coherent fiber bundle running through the elongate body;
• and
• an electronic camera coupled to receive images from the coherent fiber bundle;
• and
• wherein the elongate body has a lumen containing a cell sampling device, the cell sampling device comprising a wire, the cell sampling device extending from a sampling device handle through the elongate body from the proximal end of the elongate body to the distal end of the elongate body.
