Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Gastroenterology

Context:

  • Gallbladder cancer is a rare but aggressive malignancy.
  • Most patients present with advanced disease, limiting treatment options.
  • Identifying prognostic factors is crucial for managing gallbladder cancer.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate prognostic factors associated with overall survival in gallbladder cancer patients.
  • To identify clinical, pathological, and treatment variables impacting survival outcomes.

Summary:

  • A retrospective study analyzed 51 gallbladder cancer patients (1990-2002).
  • Multivariate analysis revealed that surgery and serum albumin levels > 3.0 g/dL were significantly associated with improved overall survival.
  • Advanced stage (Stage IV) was common, with a median survival of six months.
