gallbladder Adenocarcinoma litiasis

Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is an uncommon but highly fatal
malignancy; fewer than 5000 new cases are diagnosed
each year in the United States. The majority are found
incidentally in patients undergoing exploration for
cholelithiasis; a tumor will be found in 1 to 2 percent of
such cases. The poor prognosis associated with GBC is
thought to be related to advanced stage at diagnosis, which
is due both to the anatomic position of the gallbladder, and
the vagueness and nonspecificity of symptoms.
