Cholecystectomy is one of the treatments for gallbladder cancer

After the diagnosis of gallbladder cancer, the appropriate treatment method for gallbladder cancer should be selected. Generally speaking, surgical resection is the main treatment, and cholecystectomy is performed when necessary. Let's take a look at the four surgical treatments for gallbladder cancer.

1. Palliative surgery: The purpose of this treatment method for gallbladder cancer is to perform bile duct drainage to relieve bile duct obstruction, or gastrojejunostomy to relieve pyloric obstruction, aiming to improve the quality of life of patients with advanced gallbladder cancer.

2. Cholecystectomy: It is suitable for patients whose tumors are limited to the mucosal layer of the gallbladder. For patients whose tumors invade the muscular layer and the entire layer of the gallbladder, regional lymph node dissection is required.

3. Extended cholecystectomy: If the patient's gallbladder cancer has metastasized, such as to the liver hilum, around the common bile duct, and to the lymph nodes behind the duodenum, but there is no metastasis inside the liver, this gallbladder cancer treatment method can be selected, that is, to remove the diseased gallbladder and the surrounding lymph nodes and adipose tissue.
