Overview

Surgery is the only mainstay of treatment for gallbladder cancer. Complete surgical tumour resection is the only curative treatment for the gallbladder cancer.Radical cholecystectomy and extended radical cholecystectomy are the surgery of choice for gallbladder cancer.

Surgery

T1 stage gallbladder cancer

T2 stage gallbladder cancer

  • Extended cholecystectomy is the idle choice of surgery for patients with T2 stage.[5]
  • In stage T2 high rates of local recurrence are noticed and a simple cholecystectomy should be done.

T3/4 stage gallbladder cancer

  • A radical surgery in patients with T3 and T4 stage indicating long-term survival.[6]
  • It has been reported that a median survival rate of 17 months with a 2 % mortality rate.

Incidental gallbladder cancer management
