Abstract:
Gallbladder carcinoma(GBC) is one of the most malignant cancers of the digestive system with very poor prognosis due to its histopathological features of easy invasion to the liver, early lymph node metastasis and nerve infiltration, which result in low resection rate. It has been confirmed that radical surgery only makes sense to relatively early GBC in improving prognosis of patients. Therefore, based on recognition of biological characteristics of GBC and the theories of oncology, efforts should be focused on developing various adjuvant treatment methods for treating GBC including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted therapy and immunotherapy.
