  • Title: [Prognostic factors in gallbladder carcinoma as a decision aid for reoperation].
    Author: Schauer R, Rau H, Baretton G, Blasenbreu S, Meyer G, Schildberg FW.
    Journal: Langenbecks Arch Chir Suppl Kongressbd; 1997; 114():1072-4. PubMed ID: 9574336.
    Abstract:
    In a retrospective study of patients with gallbladder carcinoma, predictive factors for survival were evaluated. TNM stage, according to the UICC and complete tumor resection, turned out to be the strongest values in multivariate analysis. So it is important to make an early correct diagnosis and to reach complete tumor resection during surgical procedure. In case of an incidental tumor after simple cholecystectomy, hepatic wedge resection and lymph node dissection should be performed in T2 stage and above.
