Gallbladder cancer, like cholangiocarcinoma, is an uncommon cancer (9,000 cases per year in the United States) with a poor prognosis. It is relatively more aggressive than cholangiocarcinoma. The incidence increases with age, peaking at 70 to 75 years, with a 3:1 female to male ratio. There is a strong correlation with gallstones (95%). Histologically, nearly all gallbladder cancers are adenocarcinomas, and concomitant cholecystitis is frequently present. Gallbladder cancer spreads primarily by direct extension into segments IV and V of the liver, adjacent to the gallbladder fossa. The cancer also spreads via lymphatics along the cystic duct to the common bile duct. Only a small percentage of patients with a preoperative diagnosis of gallbladder cancer are resectable for potential cure for gallbladder cancer surgery in Bangalore`
