Early Diagnosis of Carcinoma Gall Bladder - A Case Series
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 10
Abstract
Gallbladder cancer is a highly aggressive malignancy with a low survival rate. Almost all cases are diagnosed at an advanced stage beyond which surgical cure is impossible. The reason for this being that gallbladder cancer mimics or coexists with gallstone disease and is often missed. Also only 50% of gallbladder carcinoma is diagnosed intraoperatively. Early diagnosis including strict scrutiny of such symptomatic patients is essential for decreasing the morbidity and mortality of gallbladder cancer. This Case series includes a retrospective study among 5 patients in a tertiary care hospital. Carcinoma Gall Bladder was either suspected on imaging or incidentally diagnosed intra-operatively or post operatively by histopathology report of cholecystectomy specimen .4 patients underwent completion radical cholecystectomy after postoperative histopathology report, whereas the last patient diagnosed to be maligancy underwent cholecystectomy. All patients had a stage of < T2N0M0. Abdominal CT and MRI scans were performed 6 months after treatment. At that time, there was no radiologic evidence of disease recurrence. Diagnosis of gall bladder in its early stage thus reduces the morbidity and thereby the patient can be offered curative surgery.
