ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
The purpose of the study was to analyse outcomes with adjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy (cCRT) followed by adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) in radically resected gall bladder carcinoma (GBC) in Indian patients. METHODS AND MATERIALS We retrospectively reviewed the records of GBC patients who received adjuvant cCRT after extended cholecystectomy (EC) between January 2007 and December 2011. Patterns of recurrence, disease-free survival (DFS), overall survival (OS) and adverse prognostic factors were evaluated.RESULTS:
Thirty-two patients were analysed. At a median follow-up of 53 months, 40 % of patients had recurrence either locoregionally (12 %) or had distant metastases (28 %). The 5-year OS and DFS was 25 % and 53 %, respectively. When prognostic factors were evaluated, the median OS was 51 versus 23 months for node-negative (n = 8) versus node-positive disease (n = 24), not reached versus 34 months for stage 2 (n = 4) versus for stage 3 (n = 28), 46 versus 23 months for R0 (n = 11) versus R1 resection (n = 21), 51 versus 12 months (p = 0.15) for well-differentiated (n = 16) versus poorly differentiated tumours (n = 8), and 10 versus 51 months for lymphovascular invasion presence (n = 4) versus absence (n = 28) (p = 0.01).CONCLUSION:
Outcome in Indian patients with cCRT followed by AC is similar to that reported in the literature. Adjuvant cCRT followed by AC improves outcomes in patients with R1 and node-positive disease. Advanced stage, nodal positivity, poor differentiation, presence of perineural invasion and lymphovascular invasion are adverse prognostic features. Further research is required with treatment intensification in patients with adverse prognostic factors to improve outcome.
