Câncer de vesícula biliar: experiência de 10 anos em um hospital de referência da Amazônia

Abstract

The present study showed high incidence of gallstone disease. Advanced stage adenocarcinoma was the most prevalent. This resulted in a low rate of operations with curative intent, in 30% of the patients, and a mortality rate of 21%. The appreciation of symptoms and early investigation by imaging could facilitate treatment in early stages of GC, providing a better prognosis for patients.

Prevalence of Incidental Gallbladder Cancer in a Tertiary-Care Hospital From Pernambuco, Brazil

“…Cholecystectomy alone -mainly laparoscopic cholecystectomy -is an adequate treatment for pT1a tumors whereas additional radical surgery plus lymph node dissection might be needed to achieve a tumor-free surgical margin for pT2 and pT3 patients (2,6,8,10,13,14,17) . Herein, an aggressive reoperation for iGBC is usually warranted as the majority of patients have residual disease after the radical surgery (9,14) , as we noticed in our study.…”

Incidência comparativa de câncer incidental de vesícula biliar em colecistectomias de urgência versus colecistectomias eletivas.

“…Regarding the most affected gender, it is possible to observe in a statistically significant manner that females have higher incidence in both surgical procedures, as shown in the study by Ishak et al 13 , in which gallbladder cancer has represented, among women, a 79% rate. Dincel et al 1 , in their research, have shown that females have a four times higher frequency of gallbladder cancer when compared to males.…”

Prevalência do câncer de vesícula biliar em pacientes submetidos à colecistectomia: experiência do Hospital de Clínicas da Faculdade de Ciências Médicas da Universidade Estadual de Campinas – UNICAMP

“…The predominant histological type is adenocarcinoma 18,19 . In the present study, only one patient (7.7%) presented a different histological type.…”
