Amyloidosis of the gallbladder mimicking gallbladder cancer
Journal of Gastroenterology, 2007We report a rare case of amyloidosis of the gallbladder in a 63-year-old woman with a history of primary amyloidosis. The patient was asymptomatic. Blood chemistry and hematologic laboratory levels, as well as values for tumor markers, were unremarkable. Ultrasonography (US) of the abdomen showed a focal echogenic lesion (22 x 15 mm) in the body of the

Chemoradiotherapy in gallbladder cancer
Journal of Surgical Oncology, 2006AbstractGallbladder cancer (GC) is considered a rare disease associated with a poor prognosis. Unfortunately, the low number of cases makes the performance of trials addressing the role of adjuvant, neoadjuvant, and/or palliative therapy difficult. For a long time, the majority of trials were 5‐fluorouracil (5 FU)‐based, and results were uniformly poor.

The majority of patients with gallbladder cancer (GBC) have advanced disease at the time of diagnosis and are unresectable. Longterm survival is usually seen in a subset of patients with early GBC (EGBC)-cancer confined to the mucosa (pT1a) and muscularis (pT1b). Management guidelines of EGBC are not yet defined and are controversial.
