Gallbladder cancer is now considered a distinct clinical entity, allowing for a separate analysis from that of other malignancies of the biliary tree. Symptoms related to a malignant tumor of the gallbladder include jaundice and abdominal pain, or a palpable abdominal mass that occurs in a late stage of the disease. The majority of patients with operable gallbladder cancer are diagnosed by chol...

Biliary tract cancers, encompassing cancers of the gallbladder, extrahepatic bile ducts, and ampulla of Vater, are rare but highly fatal. Gallstones represent the major risk factor for biliary tract cancer, and share with gallbladder cancer a female predominance and an association with reproductive factors and obesity. Although estrogens have been implicated in earlier studies of gallbladder ca...

The biliary tract's most frequent malignancy is gallbladder cancer (GBC). Due to the growing number of laparoscopic cholecystectomy procedures, majority GBC cases in United States are diagnosed as incidental findings. Roughly 5% reported adenocarcinomas mucinous type. Mucinous adenocarcinoma tumors contain more than 50% mucin materials and clinically characterized by poor prognosis. Initial pre...

Objective: To see the clinical profile of patients with gallbladder cancer. Methodology: In this multicentre retrospective study records of all patients with gallbladder cancer, who presented at Patel Hospital, Karachi Adventist Hospital and Bilquis Naz Hospital Karachi, during January 2002 to December 2005, were reviewed. Result: Out of sixty-six, forty-nine were females (74.2%) and seventeen ...

Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) has been suggested to be a putative tumor promoter gene, and autocrine of TNF-α expression has been found in colon cancer and ovarian cancer. As the role of autocrine TNF-α in human gallbladder cancer has not yet been elucidated, the present study examined the expression of TNF-α in gallbladder cancer-derived cell lines. Based on the data, TNF-α mRNA and TNF-α pr...

of development of mixed glandular-neuroendocrine cancer four years after complete resection of advanced adenocarcinoma of the gallbladder in a 72-year-old woman. Primary treatment consisted of extended cholecystectomy with wedge resection of the gallbladder bed including more than 2 cm of normal liver and dissection of the regional lymph nodes. Recurrent tumour was treated by extended right hem...

BACKGROUNDS/AIMS Recent advances in ultrasonography have contributed to the early detection of gallbladder cancer. We attempted to predict the progression of the disease by comparing the sizes of polypoid lesions, and we suggest that the size of the lesion would be a useful guideline to determine an appropriate primary surgical approach for polypoid lesions of the gallbladder. METHODS We have...
