Abstract

Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is a rather uncommon disease, but at the time when it gives symptoms it has usually reached no longer curable stage. Therefore, all attempts must be made to make the diagnosis earlier to have better opportunity for cure. The author searched PubMed, and reviewed literatures on diagnoses and treatment of GBC.

Keywords: Diagnosis; Gallbladder cancer; Incidence; Metastases; Risk factors; Staging; Treatment.
