- Abstract
A series of 11 patients (3 males and 8 females, mean age 63.4 yrs.) suffering from gallbladder cancer has been reviewed. Authors' purpose in reviewing their experience was to identify factors either in patient characteristics or treatment, that may influence statistic data. Symptoms, signs, laboratory and imaging studies were uniformly unhelpful in determining the diagnosis. Early diagnosis at a stage amenable to surgical excision remains the only therapeutical possibility.
