ABSTRACT
Gallbladder carcinoma (GBC) is the most common biliary epithelial malignancy, with an estimated incidence of 1.13 cases per 100,000 in the United States (Hundal and Shaffer in Clin Epidemiol 699-109, 2014 1; Henley et al. in Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev 241319-1326, 2015 2). The insidious nature and late presentation of this disease place it among the most lethal invasive neoplasms. Gallbladder cancer spreads early by lymphatic or hematogenous metastasis, as well as by direct invasion into the liver. While surgery may be curative at early stages, both surgical and nonsurgical treatments remain largely unsuccessful in patients with more advanced diseases (Rahman et al. in Cancer Med 6874-880, 2017 3).
