Overview
According to the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines, gallbladder cancer may be diagnosed as an accidental finding in patients who undergo laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Screening
- According to the NCCN guidelines, screening for gallbladder cancer patients include followings:
- endoscopic ultrasongraphy (EUS)
- Computed tomography (CT)
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with/without contrast
- Patients after incidental finding during laparoscopic cholecystectomy patient are recommmends considering staging laparoscopy.
- When gallbladder pathology is suspected ultrasonography is most commonly the first choice for screening.
- Sensitivity and specificity of ultrasound screening is 85% and 80%.
- High-resolution contrast-enhanced ultrasonography identifies up to 70–90% of polypoid gallbladder lesions.[1]
