Abstract
Importance There is limited evidence with regard to the benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy chemoradiotherapy in resected gallbladder cancers (GBCs). Objective To establish a baseline survival rate for operated GBCs in patients receiving either gemcitabine plus cisplatin (GC) or capecitabine and capecitabine concurrent with chemoradiation (CCRT). Design, Setting, and Participants The GECCOR-GB study was a multicenter, open-label, randomized phase 2 noncomparator "pick the winner" design trial of adjuvant GC and CCRT in patients with resected histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma or adenosquamous carcinoma of the gallbladder, (stage II/III) with no local residual tumor (R0) or microscopic residual tumor (R1). The study was carried out in 3 tertiary cancer institutions in India. Patients 18 years or older with adequate end-organ functions, and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status of 1 or lower between May 2019 and February 2022 were enrolled. The cutoff date for data analysis was February 28, 2023. Interventions Patients were randomized 1:1 to receive either GC every 3 weeks (maximum of 6 cycles) or CCRT comprising capecitabine with concurrent chemoradiation (capecitabine concurrent with radiotherapy) sandwiched between capecitabine chemotherapy. Main Outcomes and Measures The primary outcome was disease-free survival (DFS) at 1 year in randomized patients. This study was conducted as 2 parallel, single-stage phase 2 clinical trials. Within each treatment arm, a 1-year DFS rate of less than 59% was considered as insufficient activity, whereas a 1-year DFS rate of 77% or higher would be considered as sufficient activity. Results With a median follow-up of 23 months, 90 patients were randomized, 45 in each arm. Overall, there were 31 women (69%) and 14 men (31%) in the GC arm with a mean (range) age of 56 (33-72) years and 34 women (76%) and 11 men (24%) in the CCRT group with a mean (range) age of 55 (26-69) years. In the GC and CCRT arms, 1-year DFS and estimated 2-year DFS was 88.9% (95% CI, 79.5-98.3) and 74.8% (95% CI, 60.4-89.2), and 77.8% (95% CI, 65.4-90.2) and 74.8% (95% CI, 59.9-86.3), respectively. Completion rates for planned treatment was 82% in the GC arm and 62% in the CCRT arm. Conclusions and Relevance In this randomized clinical trial, GC and CCRT crossed the prespecified trial end points of 1-year DFS in patients with resected stage II/III GBCs. The results set a baseline for a larger phase 3 trial evaluating both regimens in operated GBCs. Trial Registration ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: CTRI/2019/05/019323I.

Abstract
Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is one of the commonest biliary malignancies seen in India, Argentina, and Japan. The disease has dismal outcome as it is detected quite late due to nonspecific symptoms and signs. Early detection is the only way to improve the outcome. There have been several advances in basic as well as clinical research in the hepatobiliary and pancreatic diseases in the West and other developed countries but not enough has been done in GBC. Therefore, it is important and the responsibility of the countries with high burden of GBC to find solutions to the many unanswered questions like etiopathogenesis, early diagnosis, treatment, and prognostication. As India being one of the largest hubs for GBC in the world, it is important to know how the country has progressed on GBC. In this review, we will discuss the outcome of the publications from India highlighting the work and the developments taken place in past several decades both in basic and clinical research.

Abstract
RATIONALE Pure squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the gallbladder is a rare malignant biliary tract tumor predominantly found in the body and neck of the gallbladder. However, its occurrence in the cystic duct is even rarer. Given its rarity, no established guidelines or consensus currently exist regarding the treatment of pure SCC of the gallbladder. We report an unusual case of SCC originating from the cystic duct with the intent of providing insights into the therapeutic approach for this type of malignancy. PATIENT CONCERNS A male patient presented to our hospital with acute cholecystitis. Unexpectedly, imaging revealed gallbladder malignancy. DIAGNOSES Pathologic examination after surgery confirmed SCC of the cystic duct. INTERVENTIONS Despite elevated bilirubin levels, we were able to exclude hilar involvement, enabling radical tumor resection. Intraoperatively, we discovered that the tumor was located in the cystic duct, a site associated with a high likelihood of invasion into neighboring organs. The tumor demonstrated a predominantly exophytic growth pattern, which prompted us to refrain from extending the resection range, thereby striking a balance between complete tumor removal and surgical trauma. We performed liver wedge resection only to ensure a negative resection margin while preserving the anatomical structure to the greatest extent possible. Postoperative recovery was rapid and uncomplicated. Pathological examination confirmed pure SCC, which led us to initiate a regimen of nab-paclitaxel and cisplatin, which is known to be effective in other organ SCCs. Remarkably, the patient experienced a rare and severe posttreatment cardiovascular event. Consequently, we switched the patient to a chemotherapy regimen of gemcitabine and cisplatin, which ultimately yielded positive clinical outcomes. OUTCOMES no evidence of tumor recurrence was observed within 1 year after surgery. LESSONS The diagnosis and therapeutic strategy for rare tumors such as gallbladder SCC should be meticulously tailored based on their unique characteristics to optimize postoperative patient outcomes.

Lessons learnt from 1300 consecutive gallbladder cancer surgeries: Evolving role of peri-operative chemotherapy in the treatment paradigm. EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF SURGICAL ONCOLOGY 2023; 49:107035. [PMID: 37604098 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejso.2023.107035] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2023] [Revised: 08/08/2023] [Accepted: 08/16/2023] [Indexed: 08/23/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Level I evidence for multi-modality management of gallbladder cancers (GBC) is evolving. METHODS Prospectively maintained operative GBC database of 1307 patients (year 2010-2019) was analysed to study the impact of peri-operative chemotherapy (PCT) on survival outcomes. RESULTS 1040 patients had pathologically confirmed GBC. Stage distribution showed: Stage I(85,8.2%), II(247,23.8%), III(460,44.2%), IV(248, 23.8%). PCT was used as follows: in stage II, 164 patients received adjuvant chemotherapy(ACT); in stage III, ACT was given to 444 patients, either operated upfront(244 patients) or after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT)(216 patients); in stage IV, 32 patients (11 received NACT) underwent radical surgery followed by ACT and 216 patients had inoperable disease (77 received NACT) upon exploration. With a median follow-up of 30 months, the 3-year OS for stage I, II and III was 94.1%, 82.6% and 48.2% respectively. Corresponding DFS was 93.8%, 67.3% and 38.3%. Upon reassessment for surgery after NACT (n = 332), patients who underwent radical surgery (n = 235) had superior OS (p = 0.000) and DFS (p = 0.000) in comparison to those who had inoperable disease (n = 97). Amongst stage III and IV patients with operable disease (n = 492), those who were operated upfront (n = 238) had equivalent survival as those operated after NACT (n = 254). This was also confirmed by a 1:1 propensity matched analysis (118 patients each), matching for T and N stage. CONCLUSION The role of peri-operative chemotherapy in management of GBC is evolving. While the role of NACT for locally advanced GBC is unsettled and merits testing prospectively, it helps in selection of patients with favourable disease biology for radical surgery.

Chin Med J (Engl) 2023:00029330-990000000-00607. [PMID: 37166217 DOI: 10.1097/cm9.0000000000002695] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/22/2022] [Indexed: 05/12/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Textbook outcome (TO) can guide decision-making among patients and clinicians during preoperative patient selection and postoperative quality improvement. We explored the factors associated with achieving a TO for gallbladder carcinoma (GBC) after curative-intent resection and analyzed the effect of adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) on TO and non-TO patients. METHODS A total of 540 patients who underwent curative-intent resection for GBC at the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University from January 2011 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Multivariable logistic regression was used to investigate the factors associated with TO. RESULTS Among 540 patients with GBC who underwent curative-intent resection, 223 patients (41.3%) achieved a TO. The incidence of TO ranged from 19.0% to 51.0% across the study period, with a slightly increasing trend over the study period. The multivariate analysis showed that non-TO was an independent risk factor for prognosis among GBC patients after resection (P =0.003). Age ≤60 years (P =0.016), total bilirubin (TBIL) level ≤34.1 μmol/L (P <0.001), well-differentiated tumor (P =0.008), no liver involvement (P <0.001), and T1-2 stage disease (P =0.006) were independently associated with achieving a TO for GBC after resection. Before and after propensity score matching (PSM), the overall survival outcomes of non-TO GBC patients who received ACT and those who did not were statistically significant; ACT improved the prognosis of patients in the non-TO group (P <0.050). CONCLUSION Achieving a TO is associated with a better long-term prognosis among GBC patients after curative-intent resection, and ACT can improve the prognosis of those with non-TO.

Abstract
Background Gallbladder adenocarcinoma (GBAC) is globally acknowledged as one of the most common malignancies among all gastrointestinal cancers. Despite prognosis of GBAC patients remains poor, patients with early-stage disease can be observed with long-term survival. Material/Methods In this study, 2556 patients with pathological GBAC between 2010 and 2015 were derived from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. The prognostic nomograms containing all independent prognostic factors for predicting overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) were constructed to achieve superior prognostic discriminatory ability. Results Based on the AJCC 7th TNM staging system, we found the TNM substaging was not accurate enough to predict the survival and stratify the risk. Based on the results of univariate and multivariate analyses, a more precise prognostic nomogram was constructed containing all significant independent prognostic factors (age, grade, TNM stage, bone metastasis, and chemotherapy) for OS, while age, grade, TNM stage, bone metastasis and radiotherapy significant independent prognostic factors for CSS. The C-index of the constructed nomogram for predicting OS and CSS was 0.740 and 0.737 higher than that of TNM staging alone (0.667 for OS and 0.689 for CSS), respectively. In addition, the calibration curves and decision curve analysis further showed its robust power in survival prediction. Conclusions The constructed nomograms showed better discrimination abilities to predict OS and CSS rates at 1, 3, and 5 years. In the future, these constructed models for this disease will assist in risk stratification to guide GBAC treatment.

Jab1-siRNA Induces Cell Growth Inhibition and Cell Cycle Arrest in Gall Bladder Cancer Cells via Targeting Jab1 Signalosome. Anticancer Agents Med Chem 2020; 19:2019-2033. [PMID: 31345154 DOI: 10.2174/1871520619666190725122400] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2019] [Revised: 06/19/2019] [Accepted: 06/20/2019] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The aberrant alteration in Jab1 signalosome (COP9 Signalosome Complex Subunit 5) has been proven to be associated with the progression of several carcinomas. However the specific role and mechanism of action of Jab1 signalosome in carcinogenesis of gall bladder cancer (GBC) are poorly understood. OBJECTIVE The main objective of our study was to elucidate the role and mechanism of Jab1 signalosome in gall bladder cancer by employing siRNA. METHODS Jab1 overexpression was identified in gall bladder cancer tissue sample. The role of Jab1-siRNA approach in cell growth inhibition and apoptotic induction was then examined by RT-PCR, Western Blotting, MTT, ROS, Hoechst and FITC/Annexin-V staining. RESULTS In the current study, we have shown that overexpression of Jab1 stimulated the proliferation of GBC cells; whereas downregulation of Jab1 by using Jab1-siRNA approach resulted incell growth inhibition and apoptotic induction. Furthermore, we found that downregulation of Jab1 induces cell cycle arrest at G1 phase and upregulated the expression of p27, p53 and Bax gene. Moreover, Jab1-siRNA induces apoptosis by enhancing ROS generation and caspase-3 activation. In addition, combined treatment with Jab1-siRNA and gemicitabine demonstrated an enhanced decline in cell proliferation which further suggested increased efficacy of gemcitabine at a very lower dose (5μM) in combination with Jab1-siRNA. CONCLUSION In conclusion, our study strongly suggests that targeting Jab1 signalosome could be a promising therapeutic target for the treatment of gall bladder cancer.
