Summary

Extended operations offer a chance for cure in advanced gallbladder cancer. Tumor depth and lymph node spread are key prognostic factors, guiding selection for curative resection and long-term survival.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Oncology
  • Gastrointestinal Oncology
  • Cancer Research

Background:

  • Advanced gallbladder carcinoma presents a significant challenge for curative treatment.
  • Extended surgical operations are the primary curative option, but patient selection remains debated.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the outcomes of surgical resection for advanced gallbladder carcinoma.
  • To identify prognostic factors influencing long-term survival after curative resection.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 70 patients diagnosed with gallbladder cancer (1985-1998).
  • Analysis focused on 33 patients who underwent curative resection, including cholecystectomy, lymph node dissection, and liver resection as indicated.
  • Staging based on tumor depth (pT1-4).

Main Results:

  • Hospital mortality was 6% and morbidity 33%.
  • Actuarial 5-year survival after curative resection was 27.4%.
  • Survival was significantly better for pT1-2 tumors compared to pT3 (P=0.04) and pT4 (P=0.002). Lymph node spread correlated with poorer prognosis (P=0.06), though some patients achieved long-term disease-free survival.

Conclusions:

  • Tumor depth and lymph node metastasis are critical prognostic indicators in gallbladder cancer.
  • Curative resection should be considered for patients with pT3-4 tumors or regional lymph node spread, as long-term survival is achievable.
