Surgical treatment of gallbladder carcinoma: a critical review

Farzad Kakaei et al. Updates Surg. 2015 Dec.

Abstract

Gallbladder carcinoma is a relatively uncommon cancer of gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Medical literature is full of nihilistic reports about the treatment of gallbladder carcinoma, especially due to its resistance to current radiotherapeutic or chemotherapeutic treatment modalities and difficult surgical approach for complete resection of these tumors. Herein, we review current diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to this rare GI cancer.

Keywords: Carcinoma; Cholecystectomy; Gallbladder.
