Approach and management of incidental carcinoma gallbladder
1. APPROACH AND MANAGEMENT
OF INCIDENTAL CARCINOMA
GALLBLADDER
Moderator: Dr Narendra Pandit
Presenter: Dr Anand Ujjwal Singh
2. Sequence of flow
• Definition IGBC (Incidental gallbladder carcinoma)
• Importance and epidemiological trends
• HPE assessment
• AJCC TNM staging 8th ed.
• Intraoperative events of Primary (Index) surgery
• Staging evaluation: Imaging and Laparoscopy
• Factors a/w poor oncologic outcome
• Surgery : stage wise
• Residual disease (RD)
• Tumor markers
• Adjuvant Chemotherapy
3. INCIDENTAL GALLBLADDER CARCINOMA (IGBC)
• IGBC is diagnosed on pathologic assessment following
cholecystectomy for presumed benign disease
Leonid Cherkassky et al. Surg Oncol Clin N Am 28 (2019)
4. IMPORTANCE?
• Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) most frequently performed general
surgery procedure
• routine histopathological investigation
• IGBC more favourable prognosis than cancers presenting with symptoms
• role, timing and extent of further surgery and the impact on outcome,
remain controversial
Sorcide K et al. Systematic review of management of incidental gallbladder
cancer after cholecystectomy, British Journal of Surgery 2019
5. Epidemiological trend
• incidence of gallbladder cancer has increased in the past two decades
increase in cholecystectomy rates.
• in recent series from Western countries 0⋅25–0⋅89 % of specimens
demonstrated a gallbladder cancer as an incidental, unexpected
finding

8. HISTOPATHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT
• routine rather than selective histopathological investigation detects
more IGBC
• Essential to establish correct pathological stage for planning
further management

cholecystectomy? World J Surg 2018
9. • Pathological examination is important for appropriate staging and
further management
• essential to establish the correct pathological stage for planning of
further management

cancer after cholecystectomy, British Journal of Surgery 2019
10. What to look for specifically in HPE report?
• pT and node status
• Grade
• Lymphovascular and perineural invasion
• Cystic duct margin status
• Intraoperative Bile spillage peritoneal carcinomatosis

by difference in estimated 5 year survival in various stages

12. What can be done in our setup?
• Case burden
• Coordination with pathologist
• Resurgery at earliest as early as 10 days to upto 3 months in
delayed presentation

17. Intraoperative events at primary surgery
Sorcide K et al. Systematic review of management of incidental gallbladder
cancer after cholecystectomy, British Journal of Surgery 2019
18. • intraoperative perforation of the gallbladder bears a higher risk of
local recurrence
• Perforation or bile spillage may be associated with an almost
universal risk of peritoneal carcinomatosis and a poor prognosis

Staging Evaluation : Imaging
20. • Frequent metastasis to the liver, lungs, intraabdominal lymph nodes,
and peritoneum
• Aim spare nontherapeutic laparotomy and resection
Leonid Cherkassky et al. Surg Oncol Clin N Am 28 (2019)
21. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan of the chest,
abdomen and pelvis:
• evaluate for locally unresectable and/or metastatic disease
• Nonregional local nodal or visceral metastatic disease
MRI liver protocol or a multiphase CT study:
• assess for proper hepatic artery or main portal vein involvement
locally advanced disease preclude resection
Leonid Cherkassky et al. Surg Oncol Clin N Am 28 (2019)
22. CT-MRI vs. PET scan
• PET doesnot necessarily confirm suspicious CT findings
• PET is helpful in confirming distant nodal disease suggested by CT
• PET has decreased utility in the case of the incidental diagnosis:
tumors are commonly diagnosed at earlier stages
Postoperative gallbladder bed is PET-avid from postoperative
inflammation
Leonid Cherkassky et al. Surg Oncol Clin N Am 28 (2019)
23. Staging evaluation: Laparoscopy
• Peritoneal metastasis commonly detected by laparoscopy and for
which imaging has low sensitivity
• Selective Laparoscopy can be performed in:
Positive margin at initial cholecystectomy
Poorly differentiated tumor
T3 disease
Imaging shows residual disease
Leonid Cherkassky et al. Surg Oncol Clin N Am 28 (2019)
24. FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH POOR
ONCOLOGIC OUTCOMES:
• Advanced T stage
• Node positive status
• Histologic grade of differentiation
• Lymphovascular invasion
• Total Lymphnode count more than 6
• CBD involvement
• Jaundice
• Port site, biopsy tract and peritoneal seeding
Leonid Cherkassky et al. Surg Oncol Clin N Am 28 (2019)
25. Way forward?
• Reresection is the standard approach to managing incidental
gallbladder carcinoma
• curative-intent extended cholecystectomy
• increasing rates of detection at earlier stages of disease
• Timing of reresection should be as early as possible
Leonid Cherkassky et al. Surg Oncol Clin N Am 28 (2019)
27. Gallbladder cancer after cholecystectomy
T1a lesion:
• penetrates lamina propria, does not invade muscle layer
• Cholecystectomy
• < 3% likelihood of nodal disease
28. T1b lesion:
• Penetrating the muscularis, not the deeper connective tissues or
serosa
• Cholecystectomy (if margins are clear)
29. T1b lesion (with perineural, lymphatic or vascular invasion):
• Completion Extended cholecystectomy (directed at obtaining R0
resection including draining lymph node basins)
30. Removal of lymphnode basins:
• Pericholedochal
• Periportal
• Hepatoduodenal
• Right celiac
• Posterior pancreaticoduodenal

lymph nodes of the gallbladder
Shirai Y et al. Regional lymphadenectomy for gallbladder
cancer: Rational extent, technical details, and patient
outcomes. World J Gastroenterol. 2012
32. • Roux en Y reconstruction :
Resection of the cystic duct margin to involved mucosa sometimes
may require resection of CBD
• 2 cm of apparently normal hepatic parenchyma from GB fossa is
resected local extension into hepatic parenchyma
33. Port site resection?
• No role
• Morbidity >> Survival benefit
• Alternative: Visceral peritoneal biopsy to exclude peritoneal/
metastatis disease
34. Bile duct resection?
• Not done unless
Positive cystic duct margin
Densely involved nodes in Hepatoduodenal ligament
35. T2 lesion:
• Extension beyond Muscularis, not beyond serosa
• Radical cholecystectomy
• Any residual disease after operative intervention predicts poor outcome
> 40% have LN metastasis
Upto 25% have positive margins
After standard cholecystectomy
36. • type of surgical access (laparoscopic, converted or open) bears no
negative influence on survival
Goetze TO et al. Surg Endosc 2013
37. Residual Disease (RD):
• justification for reresection goal of removing RD and achieving R0
margin status
• RD found at the time of curative-intent resection or on pathologic
assessment marker of poor prognosis
• clinical equivalent of regional and metastatic disease
Leonid Cherkassky et al. Surg Oncol Clin N Am 28 (2019)
38. • 5 yrs survival: 60-80% (no RD) 25-40% (with RD) ; Better survival
outcome than Nonincidental GBC
• Relatively good prognosis early management with multimodality
therapy
39. Role of tumor markers:
• currently no good biomarkers for gallbladder cancer
• Proposed:
• CEA
• CA 19-9
• CA 242
• Thymidine kinase

41. Adjuvant Chemotherapy
• cisplatin and gemcitabine have been the preferred combination
• no difference in recurrence-free survival between GEMOX
(gemcitabine–oxaliplatin) and observation alone in biliary tract
cancers
• randomized BILCAP trial better survival for capecitabine after
radical surgery of biliary tract cancer
• ongoing European trial (ACTICCA-1130) compares cisplatin–
gemcitabine combination with observation alone after radical surgery

cancer after cholecystectomy, British Journal of Surgery 2019
42. Conclusion
• Important to followup the HPE reports
• Intraoperative events of primary surgery is to be documented
• Evaluation and staging is of utmost importance
• Reresection is the standard approach to managing incidental gallbladder
carcinoma
• Residual disease also has a good prognosis if detected and managed early
• Adjuvant chemotherapy is a work in progess and has improved survival outcome
