Overview
Depending on the extent of the tumor at the time of diagnosis, the prognosis may vary. However, the prognosis is generally regarded as poor.
Natural History
Most tumors are adenocarcinomas, with a small percent being squamous cell carcinomas. The cancer commonly spreads to the liver, pancreas, stomach and duodenum.
Prognosis
The survival rate depends on the extent of cancer at the time of diagnosis with gallbladder cancer and early detection is the key for good prognosis:
- Gallbladder cancer has an overall 5-year survival rate less than 5%.
- Advances in perioperative care has markedly improved outcomes.[1]
- Recent Improvements in surgical techniques have resulted in a decline of both morbidity and mortality of the gallbladder cancer prognosis.
- 5-year survival rate is ssen in patients who undergo R0 curative resection.[2][3]
- Only 2–8 months survival rate has been noticed by French Surgical Association with T3/T4 tumours.
- Hari et al. identified independent predictors such as age, tumour grade,T1 subtype, tumour histology, radiation, and surgery type.
- The prognosis is not good for most gallbladder cancer patients if the cancer is detected in its late stages. The prognosis of gallbladder cancer also depends on the following factors.[4]
- Among all the histological types Papillary carcinomas are having one of the best prognosis.[5]
- Intramural invasion is seen in adenocarcinomas and are associated with worst prognosis, whether or not the tumor can be removed by surgery.[6]
- The prognosis of the cancer also can depends on
- The stage of the cancer
- The size of the tumor, whether the cancer has spread outside the gallbladder.
- The patient’s general health
