Abstract EN
Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is an uncommon disease in the majority of the world despite being the most common and aggressive malignancy of the biliary tree.
Early diagnosis is essential for improved prognosis; however, indolent and nonspecific clinical presentations with a paucity of pathognomonic/predictive radiological features often preclude accurate identification of GBC at an early stage.
As such, GBC remains a highly lethal disease, with only 10% of all patients presenting at a stage amenable to surgical resection.
Among this select population, continued improvements in survival during the 21st century are attributable to aggressive radical surgery with improved surgical techniques.
This paper reviews the current available literature of the 21st century on PubMed and Medline to provide a detailed summary of the epidemiology and risk factors, pathogenesis, clinical presentation, radiology, pathology, management, and prognosis of GBC.
