Gallbladder cancer is most common in people who have gallstones or have had gallstones in the past. While uncommon, most gallbladder cancers are discovered at a late stage when the prognosis is often poor and liver resection is pivotal for treatment. However, there is debate about how much of the liver should be removed when performing gallbladder cancer surgery.
A new study by researchers from Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine has found no difference in overall survival rate based on how much of the liver is resected provided the cancer is completely removed.
