Summary

Gallbladder carcinoma survival is poor, but TNM staging and radical surgery significantly improve outcomes. Identifying prognostic factors like tumor stage and surgical approach is crucial for better patient survival rates.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Surgical Pathology

Context:

  • Gallbladder carcinoma is a rare but aggressive malignancy with historically poor prognoses.
  • Limited understanding of prognostic factors hinders effective treatment strategies.

Purpose:

  • To investigate the impact of clinico-pathological variables on survival in gallbladder carcinoma patients.
  • To identify key prognostic factors for improved patient outcomes.

Summary:

  • A retrospective analysis of 226 gallbladder carcinoma cases identified Tumor Node Metastasis (TNM) stage and surgical technique as significant prognostic factors.
  • Multivariate analysis confirmed TNM staging (T, N, M) and surgical approach as independently associated with survival.
  • Overall 5-year survival was 17.3%, with radical cholecystectomy showing improved outcomes in stages II and III.
