Abstract

Tumor location (hepatic side vs peritoneal side) is a strong predictor of survival after curative resection of T2 gallbladder cancer. In patients with peritoneal-side tumors, a high survival rate is achievable with radical resection alone, whereas patients with hepatic-side tumors have worse survival and may be candidates for adjuvant therapy.
