Overview

There is no single diagnostic study of choice for the diagnosis of gallbladder cancer. According to Nevin's staging system and TNM staging system of the American Joint Committee on Cancer there are several stages of gallbladder cancer.

Staging

  • According to Nevin's staging system[2][3]
Stage Characteristics
1 Invasion of mucosa by the tumor
2 Invasion of mucosa and muscularis by the tumor
3 Invasion of mucosa, muscularis, and subserosa
4 Involment of 3 layers of gallbladder + cystic lymph node
5 metastases
  • According to TNM staging[4][5]

=Tis Carcinoma in situ; T1a-Tumor invades the lamina propria; T1b-Tumor invades the muscular layer; ¥=T2 Tumour invades perimuscular connective tissue; T2a-Tumor invades the perimuscular connective tissue without involvement of the serosa; T2b-Tumor invades the perimuscular connective tissue with no extension into the liver;♠= T3 Tumour perforates serosa and/or invades liver and/or other adjacent organs; ♦=T4 Tumour invades main portal vein or hepatic artery or multiple extrahepatic organs.

ɸ= N0-No regional lymph node metastasis;ǂ=N1- Metastases to one or three regional lymph nodes;

ɝ=M0-No distant metastasis;ɚ=M1-Distant metastasis
