• #1 Gallbladder Carcinoma – StatPearls – NCBI Bookshelf

  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK442002/

  Gallbladder carcinoma is a rare malignancy but constitutes nearly half of all biliary tract cancers. […] Surgical resection followed by adjuvant therapy offers a chance for cure in early-stage disease, while palliative chemotherapy is the mainstay for locally advanced and metastatic disease. […] Regular surveillance and close monitoring are crucial for long-term management, with clinical trials recommended for patients with advanced, unresectable disease. […] This activity for healthcare professionals reviews the etiology, epidemiology, pathophysiology, histopathological findings, and evaluation of gallbladder carcinoma, including diagnostic challenges with delayed presentations, treatment modalities, chemotherapy regimens, surveillance protocols, and implementing an appropriate interprofessional management approach to improve patient outcomes.

• #2 Diagnosis and Management of Gallbladder Cancer

  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3409652/

  Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is a rather uncommon disease, but at the time when it gives symptoms it has usually reached no longer curable stage. Therefore, all attempts must be made to make the diagnosis earlier to have better opportunity for cure. […] Resection is the most effective and only potentially curative treatment. Early-stage tumors are often curable with a proper resection; however, many patients present late in the course of the disease when surgical intervention is no longer effective. […] In patients with suspected GBC, an open surgical resection is advocated. Adjuvant combination chemotherapy and molecular targeted therapy are emerging as effective therapeutic options in those with advanced GBC. Endoscopic palliation of biliary and gastric outlet obstruction with metallic stents has improved the quality of life.

  https://www.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-information-and-support/gallbladder-cancer

  Gallbladder cancer is rare. Just under 1000 people in the UK are diagnosed with it each year. It is most common in people over 75. It is more common in women than men. […] Early gallbladder cancer does not usually cause symptoms. […] Most gallbladder cancers are only found at an advanced stage. […] A team of specialists will meet to discuss the best possible treatment for you. This is called a multidisciplinary team (MDT). […] Your cancer doctor or specialist nurse will explain the different treatments and their side effects. They will also talk to you about things to consider when making treatment decisions. […] The treatment you have will depend on: the position and size of the cancer, whether it has spread to other areas of the body, your general health, your preferences. […] Surgery can be used to remove the gallbladder. Often the surgeon also removes some lymph nodes and part of the liver.

• #4 Gallbladder Cancer: Symptoms, Treatment & Prognosis

  https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/17013-gallbladder-cancer

  Gallbladder cancer is a rare form of cancer that often doesnt cause signs or symptoms in the early stages. […] Treatments include surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. […] The cure rate for gallbladder cancer is excellent if its in the early stages and healthcare providers can remove it with surgery. […] Early-stage gallbladder cancer that your provider can remove through surgery has the best treatment outcomes. […] Surgery: A healthcare provider called a surgical oncologist may remove your gallbladder and nearby tissue (cholecystectomy). […] Radiation therapy: This treatment uses a machine outside your body (EBRT) to direct radiation to your cancer. […] Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy uses drugs to kill cancer cells or stop them from multiplying. […] Cancers that cant be removed via surgery (unresectable), have returned (recurrent) or spread (metastatic) arent curable.

  Gallbladder cancer is a rare type of cancer that starts in the tissues of the gallbladder. […] Signs and symptoms of gallbladder cancer include jaundice, fever, and pain. […] Gallbladder cancer is difficult to detect (find) and diagnose early. […] Tests that examine the gallbladder and nearby organs are used to detect (find), diagnose, and stage gallbladder cancer. […] Certain factors affect the prognosis (chance of recovery) and treatment options. […] Treatment may also depend on the age and general health of the patient and whether the cancer is causing signs or symptoms. […] Gallbladder cancer can be cured only if it is found before it has spread, when it can be removed by surgery. If the cancer has spread, palliative treatment can improve the patient’s quality of life by controlling the symptoms and complications of this disease.

  Palliative care is treatment used to help control or reduce symptoms caused by cancer. It’s not meant to cure the cancer. […] If gallbladder cancer has spread too far to be removed by surgery, doctors may focus on palliative treatments. For instance, pain medicines and drugs to control nausea or itching might be used to help you feel better. Radiation and chemotherapy can also be used to help relieve problems caused by the tumor(s). […] Your cancer care team will talk with you about the pros and cons of all the treatments that might help you. […] These procedures can be done as part of a cholangiography procedure or, in some cases, during surgery. They’re often done to help relieve or prevent symptoms in more advanced cancers, but they can also be done to help relieve jaundice before potentially curative surgery is done. This helps lower the risk of complications from the surgery.

  Many people are not candidates for surgery by the time gallbladder cancer is diagnosed. However, minimally invasive, image-guided procedures can help improve quality of life by allowing bile to drain out of the gallbladder or a bile duct that is blocked by a tumor. Our surgeons, gastroenterologists, and experts in interventional radiology use tools such as catheters and needles, to relieve such symptoms as jaundice, itching, nausea, vomiting, and infection. […] People with advanced gallbladder cancer often have pain. The pain may be caused by cancer cells that have invaded a cluster of nerves near the liver known as the celiac plexus. People who dont get enough pain relief with conventional pain-relieving drugs may benefit from a procedure called neurolytic celiac plexus block (NCPB). This involves injecting a local anesthetic into the celiac plexus to disrupt the bodys pain signals.

  Your healthcare professional might suggest chemotherapy after surgery if there’s a risk that some gallbladder cancer cells might remain. Sometimes, healthcare professionals give chemotherapy before surgery. It also can be used to control the cancer when surgery isn’t possible. […] Radiation therapy treats cancer with powerful energy beams. The energy can come from X-rays, protons or other sources. Radiation therapy is sometimes used with chemotherapy after surgery for gallbladder cancer if all the cancer couldn’t be removed. Radiation therapy also can control gallbladder cancer that’s causing pain and jaundice when surgery isn’t possible. […] Immunotherapy for cancer is a treatment with medicine that helps the body’s immune system kill cancer cells. The immune system fights off diseases by attacking germs and other cells that shouldn’t be in the body. Cancer cells survive by hiding from the immune system. Immunotherapy helps the immune system find and kill the cancer cells.

  Your healthcare professional might suggest chemotherapy after surgery if there’s a risk that some gallbladder cancer cells might remain. Sometimes, healthcare professionals give chemotherapy before surgery. It also can be used to control the cancer when surgery isn’t possible. […] Radiation therapy treats cancer with powerful energy beams. The energy can come from X-rays, protons or other sources. Radiation therapy is sometimes used with chemotherapy after surgery for gallbladder cancer if all the cancer couldn’t be removed. Radiation therapy also can control gallbladder cancer that’s causing pain and jaundice when surgery isn’t possible. […] Immunotherapy for cancer is a treatment with medicine that helps the body’s immune system kill cancer cells. The immune system fights off diseases by attacking germs and other cells that shouldn’t be in the body. Cancer cells survive by hiding from the immune system. Immunotherapy helps the immune system find and kill the cancer cells.

• #40 Reviewing the potential role of radiation therapy in gallbladder cancer: an update

  https://www.e-roj.org/journal/view.php?doi=10.3857/roj.2021.00717

  Gallbladder cancer is a highly malignant disease with a poor prognosis. It is the most common cancer of the biliary tract pathway. Although surgery remains the treatment of choice for early-stage disease, majority of the patients presents in locally advanced, unresectable and metastatic stage of the disease. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy thus form an integral part of management for these locally advanced staged patients. […] Overall, adjuvant RT with or without chemotherapy in its various formats (3DCRT, IMRT, VMAT) plays a crucial role in GBC and is indicated in patients with residual disease, T3 stage, and with node or margin positive status. The role of SBRT and PBT needs further evaluation. […] Palliative RT too remains investigational, which otherwise could be utilized to reduce the local disease progression and provide symptomatic relief in unresectable cases. Lastly, the use of neoadjuvant therapy to downstage the disease and improve resectability still remains in its preliminary phase which needs further evaluation. Overall, with the paucity of literature supporting the usage of modern techniques of RT in GBC, the role of RT needs to be further enhanced and improved in quality.

  https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/278641-treatment

  Although complete surgical resection is the only therapy to afford a chance of cure for gallbladder cancer, en bloc resections of the gallbladder and portal lymph nodes carry a high morbidity and mortality (similar to bile duct carcinoma). Adequate surgical margins may be difficult to achieve. […] The role of adjuvant radiation therapy is to control microscopic residual deposits of carcinoma in the tumor bed and regional lymph nodes. […] The role of radiotherapy for carcinoma of the gallbladder is unclear because the available literature is derived from small, single-institutional experiences over many years, with a variety of treatment methods used. […] Significant increases in survival rates have been reported after curative surgery is attempted and only microscopic residual disease remains.

  The extent of gallbladder cancer is an important factor in deciding on treatment options. Whenever possible, surgery is the main treatment. It’s the best chance of curing the cancer. […] If gallbladder cancer is suspected or diagnosed, its a good idea to be seen by a surgeon with experience treating this type of cancer. Gallbladder cancer is rare, and not all surgeons are skilled at the more extensive operations needed to treat it. […] No matter what stage the cancer is, its very important that you understand the goal of treatment before it starts whether its to try to cure the cancer or to help relieve symptoms as well as the likelihood of the benefits and risks. This can help you make good decisions when looking at your treatment options. […] Palliative care is supportive care. It’s aimed at preventing and treating symptoms or problems caused by the cancer. Palliative care is used with every type of cancer treatment at every stage of gallbladder cancer. It includes things like medicines to prevent nausea, pain control, and maintaining the flow of bile where a tumor may block it. Palliative care is focused on helping you feel better. It’s not used to cure the cancer.
