Abstract: Aim. To analyze current literature sources on gallbladder cancer and to study the long-term outcomes of treatment for this disease. Materials and methods. The study involved a retrospective analysis of the treatment results of 33 patients with histologically confirmed gallbladder cancer. Results. At the preoperative stage, the diagnosis of gallbladder cancer was established in 19 patients (58%), while 11 cases (33%) were diagnosed with portal cholangiocarcinoma, cholangiocellular carcinoma, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Malignant neoplasms were diagnosed in 30 cases (91%) prior to surgery. Resectional procedures were performed in 21 patients (64%), with R0 resection achieved in 7 cases (21%) and R1 surgery performed in 11 patients (33%). The average duration of hospital stay after surgery amounted to 15.6 (1–71) days. The median survival time accounted for 10.5 months. Conclusion. The detection and treatment of gallbladder cancer are associated with considerable challenges. Ensuring early and accurate diagnosis and radical surgical intervention stands as a primary aspect to develop. Given the aggressive nature of the tumor, research into the biological characteristics of this type of cancer may hold significant potential.
