Abstract:
Objective To discuss the relationship between prognosis and different surgical procedures for gallbladder cancer in different stages. Methods The clinical data of 107 patients with gallbladder cancer from January 2001 to May 2007 were retrospectively analyzed. The surgical procedure was chosen according to different stages. Results Eighty-one of the 107 patients (75.6%) were followed up with the median time of 5 years. Of the 10 patients with stage Ⅰ gallbladder cancer who had underwent simple cholecystectomy, 9 survived. Of the 8 patients with stage Ⅱ gallbladder cancer, 3 received palliative cholecystectomy and the median survival time was 12 months, which was significantly shorter than 24 months of the remaining 5 patients who received radical operation (X2= 5.698, P <0.05). Of the 42 patients with stage Ⅲ gallbladder cancer, 18 received radical operation, and the median survival time was 24 months, which was not significantly different from 18 months of the 5 patients who received extended radical operation (X2=0.238, P>0.05). The remaining 19 patients received palliative operation, and the median survival time was 6 months, which was significantly shorter than those of patients received radical operation or extended radical operation (X2=5.772, 6.318, P <0.05). There were 47 patients with stage Ⅳ gallbladder cancer. Seventeen patients received extended radical operation and 30 received palliative operation, and no significant difference upon the median survival time was observed among different surgical procedures (X2=0.001,0.694, P>0.05). The complication recurrence after the extended radical operation was significantly higher than palliative operation (X2=6.039, P<0.05). Conclusions For patients with stage Ⅰ gallbladder cancer, simple cholecystectomy is preferred. Radical operation is good for patients with stage Ⅱ gallbladder cancer. The choose of radical operation or extended radical operation for patients with stage Ⅲ gallbladder cancer should be based on the condition of invasion. Palliative operation could be used to patients with stage Ⅳ gallbladder cancer.
