Abstract
BACKGROUND Epidemiological research on the high-risk population might be helpful in early detection and prevention of biliary tract malignancies. This study assesses the prevalence of biliary tract cancer (BTC) in the Golestan province, northeastern Iran, between 2004 and 2016. METHODS The current study used information from the Golestan Population-based Cancer Registry (GPCR) to access the epidemiology of BTC across a 13-year period while taking into account temporal and geographic differences. The number of cases, crude rates, age-standardized incidence rates (ASRs) per 100,000 person-years, average annual percent change (AAPC), age-specific incidence rates, and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were reported for each year with respect to gender and place of residence. RESULTS Totally, 224 instances of BTC overall (54% of whom were females) were reported throughout the research period. The ASR of BTC was 1.7 (95% CI: 1.4‒2) for females and 1.4 (95% CI: 1.1‒1.6) for men, respectively. Males exhibited a growing time trend in incidence (AAPC: 7.18; CI: 0.06‒14.81; P-value:0.048), whereas females had a decreasing trend (AAPC: 0.82; CI: -5.94‒4.57; P-value: 0.740). Both sexes saw an increase in age-specific incidence rates starting at the age of 45; however, males experienced a significant increase in incidence in the age group of 75 to 79 while the female rates grew steadily. CONCLUSION The focus for cancer control in this region may be given to demographic groups with a combination of risk factors, including male gender, older age, and urban residence.

Abstract
Introduction Hepatopancreatobiliary (HPB) cancers are a distinct group requiring specialized multidisciplinary care. The present study was an analysis of HPB cancers. Methods The institutional data for two years from 2017 to 2018 was retrieved from the hospital-based cancer registry (HBCR) database in Excel format (Microsoft® Corp., Redmond, WA). The demographic details, method of diagnosis, tumor characteristics, and disease extent of the patients with HPB primary sites were retrospectively analyzed. Results Out of the 1417 patients with HPB malignancies, 1193 were analyzed. Most of the patients at our center hailed from North India. The distribution of HPB cancers was as follows: hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) (n=717, 60.1%), gallbladder (GB) (n=230, 19.3%), periampullary carcinoma (n=76, 6.37%), head of the pancreas (HOP) (n=55, 4.61%), extrahepatic bile duct (EBD) (n=53, 4.44%), intrahepatic bile duct (IBD) (n=32, 2.68%), and body of the pancreas (BOP) (n=30, 2.52%). The most common disease presentation of HPB cancers was in the seventh and sixth decades of life. Male predominance was seen in all HPB cancers except in GB with a higher incidence in females. The predominant cause of chronic liver disease (CLD) with HCC was viral-related (53.7%) with hepatitis B virus (HBV) (34.3%) higher than hepatitis C virus (HCV) (19.2%) followed by non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)/non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) (24.8%) and then alcohol. Adenocarcinoma was the most common morphology in pancreatobiliary malignancies. The disease presentation was locoregional in 63.4% of HCC, 69.7% of periampullary carcinoma, and 50.9% of HOP cases. The patients with EBD and IBD cancers presented commonly with locoregional disease extent in 60.4% and 62.5%, respectively. Perihilar subsite was more commonly detected (71.7%) as compared to the distal one in the patients with EBD cancers. The patients with GB cancers (GBC) presented with distant metastases in 53.5% and locoregional disease in 33%. Distant metastases were present in 76.7% of the patients with BOP cancers. The liver was a common site of distant metastases in GB, periampullary, and pancreatic cancers. Conclusions The present study highlights the characteristics and the variations in disease presentation in different primary tumor sites of HPB cancers. In view of the common locoregionally advanced disease presentation of HCC, the patients with CLD need surveillance for the early detection of lesions. As the patients with HPB cancers show advanced disease presentation, effective locoregional and systemic therapies are needed.

Abstract
Background Females having a large proportion of gallbladder carcinoma (GBC) and a higher incidence of gallstones pointed toward the role of sex hormones in GBC development. In this study, we evaluated the expression of Estrogen receptor (ER), Progesterone receptor (PR), and Her2/neu and their correlation with tumor markers and clinicopathological parameters in the GBC. Methods A total of 50 patients of GBC and 42 patients in control group undergoing surgery for other conditions were taken. The patient's biopsy sample's paraffin block was tested for ER, PR, and Her2/neu expression by immunohistochemistry. Results ER and PR had no significant expression in GBC and control group, but Her2/neu had 16% expression in GBC, significantly associated with the degree of differentiation with 62.5% (n-5) being well-differentiated; 75% of Her2/neu positive were in stages III and IV. Her2/neu did not correlate with tumor markers despite expression. Conclusions Her2/neu amplification is a small step in validating that option so it could be included in the treatment and prognostication of GBC.

Abstract
Background Gallbladder papillary adenocarcinoma (GBPA) is an uncharacteristically gallbladder cancer subtype. Although some studies have shown that the prognosis of GBPA patients is significantly better than that of gallbladder adenocarcinoma (GBA) and gallbladder mucinous adenocarcinoma (GBMA) due to its rarity, there is a lack of large sample studies necessary to confirm the clinical characteristics and survival rate of GBPA. Therefore, this study aimed to describe the clinicopathological characteristics affecting survival in GBPA. This data was then used to establish a prognostic nomogram for GBPA. Methods The data of patients diagnosed with gallbladder cancer between 2004 to 2015 were extracted from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. The clinical features and survival of patients with GBPA were compared with those of GBA and GBMA after balancing the baseline characteristics using propensity score matching (PSM). Univariate and multivariate Cox analyses were used to identify the prognostic factors for GBPA. Subsequently, the overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) nomograms were established to predict GBPA prognosis. The performance and discrimination of the nomogram were measured using concordance index (C-index), calibration curves, receptor operating characteristic curves(ROC), and decision curve analysis (DCA) was applied to examine the net benefit of tients with GBPA, 5798 patients with GBA, and 223 patients with GBMA. The mean 1-, 3- and 5-year OS rates for GBPA were 81.3%, 58.8%, and 49.1%, respectively, while the mean 1-, 3- and 5-year CSS rates were 85.0%, 68.1%, and 61.0%, respectively. The median OS rates was 58 months (95% CI: 43-88), while the median CSS was not reached. The PSM analysis showed a differ statistically significantly in the OS between GBPA and GBA. However, there has no statistically difference in CSS. Conversely, the OS and CSS between GBPA and GBMA have statistically significant differences. Age, marital, T stage, and M stage were strongly linked to the prognosis for OS, while T-stage, M-stage, and surgery were significantly associated with the prognosis for CSS in GBPA patients. The AUC for the 1-, 3-, and 5-year OS were 0.722 (95%CI: 0.630-0.813), 0.728 (95%CI: 0.665-0.790), and 0.706 (95%CI: 0.641-0.771), respectively. The AUC for the 1-, 3-, and 5-year CSS were 0.749 (95%CI: 0.659-0.840), 0.698 (95%CI: 0.627-0.770), and 0.665 (95%CI: 0.594-0.735), respectively. The C-indices for the OS and CSS nomograms were 0.701 (95% CI: 0.634-0.744) and 0.651 (95% CI: 0.598-0.703), respectively. The calibration curves showed that the nomograms were well consistency. The DCA showed that compared with the TNM system, the nomogram models had a significant positive net benefit in survival prediction. Conclusion GBPA has distinct clinicopathological characteristics and survival compared to other gallbladder carcinomas. The established nomogram provided a better prediction of survival for GBPA patients than the traditional TNM models.

Abstract
Background Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is a highly aggressive malignancy in elderly patients. Our goal is aimed to construct a novel nomogram to predict cancer-specific survival (CSS) in elderly GBC patients. Method We extracted clinicopathological data of elderly GBC patients from the SEER database. We used univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression analysis to select the independent risk factors of elderly GBC patients. These risk factors were subsequently integrated to construct a predictive nomogram model. C-index, calibration curve, and area under the receiver operating curve (AUC) were used to validate the accuracy and discrimination of the predictive nomogram model. A decision analysis curve (DCA) was used to evaluate the clinical value of the nomogram. Result A total of 4241 elderly GBC patients were enrolled. We randomly divided patients from 2004 to 2015 into training cohort (n = 2237) and validation cohort (n = 1000), and patients from 2016 to 2018 as external validation cohort (n = 1004). Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression analysis found that age, tumor histological grade, TNM stage, surgical method, chemotherapy, and tumor size were independent risk factors for the prognosis of elderly GBC patients. All independent risk factors selected were integrated into the nomogram to predict cancer-specific survival at 1-, 3-, and 5- years. In the training cohort, internal validation cohort, and external validation cohort, the C-index of the nomogram was 0.763, 0.756, and 0.786, respectively. The calibration curves suggested that the predicted value of the nomogram is highly consistent with the actual observed value. AUC also showed the high authenticity of the prediction model. DCA manifested that the nomogram model had better prediction ability than the conventional TNM staging system. Conclusion We constructed a predictive nomogram model to predict CSS in elderly GBC patients by integrating independent risk factors. With relatively high accuracy and reliability, the nomogram can help clinicians predict the prognosis of patients and make more rational clinical decisions.

Abstract
Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is the most common cancer of the biliary tract, characterized by a very poor prognosis when diagnosed at advanced stages owing to its aggressive behaviour and limited therapeutic options. Early detection at a curable stage remains challenging because patients rarely exhibit symptoms; indeed, most GBCs are discovered incidentally following cholecystectomy for symptomatic gallbladder stones. Long-standing chronic inflammation is an important driver of GBC, regardless of the lithiasic or non-lithiasic origin. Advances in omics technologies have provided a deeper understanding of GBC pathogenesis, uncovering mechanisms associated with inflammation-driven tumour initiation and progression. Surgical resection is the only treatment with curative intent for GBC but very few cases are suitable for resection and most adjuvant therapy has a very low response rate. Several unmet clinical needs require to be addressed to improve GBC management, including discovery and validation of reliable biomarkers for screening, therapy selection and prognosis. Standardization of preneoplastic and neoplastic lesion nomenclature, as well as surgical specimen processing and sampling, now provides reproducible and comparable research data that provide a basis for identifying and implementing early detection strategies and improving drug discovery. Advances in the understanding of next-generation sequencing, multidisciplinary care for GBC, neoadjuvant and adjuvant strategies, and novel systemic therapies including chemotherapy and immunotherapies are gradually changing the treatment paradigm and prognosis of this recalcitrant cancer.

Abstract
Gallbladder carcinoma (GBC) is a major cancer of the gastrointestinal tract with poor prognosis. Reliable and affordable biomarker-based assays with high sensitivity and specificity for the detection of this cancer are a clinical need. With the aim of studying the potential of the plasma-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs), we carried out quantitative proteomic analysis of the EV proteins, using three types of controls and various stages of the disease, which led to the identification of 86 proteins with altered abundance. These include 29 proteins unique to early stage, 44 unique to the advanced stage and 13 proteins being common to both the stages. Many proteins are functionally relevant to the tumor condition or have been also known to be differentially expressed in GBC tissues. Several of them are also present in the plasma in free state. Clinical verification of three tumor-associated proteins with elevated levels in comparison to all the three control types—5′-nucleotidase isoform 2 (NT5E), aminopeptidase N (ANPEP) and neprilysin (MME) was carried out using individual plasma samples from early or advanced stage GBC. Sensitivity and specificity assessment based on receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis indicated a significant association of NT5E and ANPEP with advanced stage GBC and MME with early stage GBC. These and other proteins identified in the study may be potentially useful for developing new diagnostics for GBC.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is a rare malignancy in Western population with poor prognosis. This study aimed to investigate the trends in GBC incidence, treatment pattern, and survival in Finland. METHODS Patients diagnosed with primary GBC in a geographically defined area (Southern Finland Regional Cancer Center) during 2006-2017 were identified. RESULTS Final cohort included 270 patients with GBC. The incidence was 1.32/100,000 persons, and it decreased 6.8 cases per million personyears during the study period. One hundred fifty-one (56%) patients were diagnosed at Stage IV. Fifty-one patients (19%) underwent curative-intent resection with 96% R0-resection rate. The median overall survival was 7.1 months and 5-year overall survival 11.6% for all patients, and 67.7 months and 56.8% after curative-intent resection, respectively. No improvement was noted over time in overall survival in patients with GBC, or in subgroups of different stages of GBC. CONCLUSIONS The incidence of GBC is slightly decreasing in Southern Finland, but survival has not improved over time.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The incidence of Gallbladder Cancer (GBC) is found to be increasing in the rural populations of north-central India. Role of multiple demographic factors, including poor socio-economic conditions, illiteracy and miserable primary healthcare services appear to be significant factors for this increase. Here, we aim to assess the present status of GBC in north-central India and evaluate the role of immunological markers in its management. METHODS A total of 1845 cases of different Gallbladder diseases, including GBC, from rural and urban areas both, registered at CHRI, Gwalior during 2009-2014 and 2018 were included in this study. The demographic and clinical information of the patients were analysed using various statistical tests. RESULTS Of all the cases (1845) included in this study, 1125 (60.97%) were diagnosed with GBC, of which, 707 (62.84%) were from rural background and 418 (37.15%) from urban settings. Mean age for GBC cases for both male and female was about 53.49 years. Females were more affected, being 70.37%, while male patients were only 29.63%. The pathological investigations showed elevated levels of total bilirubin and liver function enzymes both. The NLR, PLR and MLR were found to be significantly associated with different clinical parameters as well as OS. CONCLUSION We infer that the growing trend of GBC, particularly in rural areas, in north-central India is primarily associated with the lack of awareness, inadequate medical support and poor socio-economic conditions. Evaluation of haematological markers may help in the predictive diagnosis/ prognosis and or management of GBC cases in the studied population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Typhoid (Salmonella typhi and paratyphi) carriers and gall bladder cancer (GBC) are endemic in northern India. Results of previous studies about association of typhoid carriers with GBC are inconsistent. We studied antibodies against Salmonella typhi and paratyphi in serum samples of patients with GBC. METHODS We performed modified Widal test for antibodies against Salmonella typhi (Vi and O) and Salmonella paratyphi (AO and BO) antigens in patients with GBC (n=100), xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (XGC, n=24), chronic cholecystitis (CC, n=200) and healthy controls (HC, n=200). RESULTS Serum antibodies against Salmonella were more frequently positive in GBC (22%) and XGC (29%), particularly in males in age ≥50 years (GBC: 47% and XGC: 50%) vs. HC (0) (p <0.01). Vi antibody was more common in GBC (13%, OR:9.8) and XGC (8%, OR:5.9) than HC (2%). O antibody was more common in GBC (8%, OR: 8.6) and XGC (8%, OR: 9.0) than HC (1%). O antibody was also more common in males with GBC (12%) than CC (1%) and HC (1%) (P=0.02 and p <0.001, respectively). AO (6%) and BO (4%) antibodies were detected in GBC, particularly in males, than HC (0), (p <0.01). Salmonella antibodies were more frequent in GBC with GS than those without GS (50% vs. 20%, OR=3.94, P=0.01). CONCLUSIONS Salmonella carrier state was more common in GBC and XGC, particularly in elderly males than HC. The Vi antibody was more common in GBC and XGC than HC. Salmonella infection was more common in GBC with GS than those without GS.

Immunoproteomics approach revealed elevated autoantibody levels against ANXA1 in early stage gallbladder carcinoma. BMC Cancer 2020; 20:1175. [PMID: 33261560 PMCID: PMC7709428 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-020-07676-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2020] [Accepted: 11/22/2020] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Early diagnosis is important for the timely treatment of gallbladder carcinoma (GBC) patients and may lead to increased survival outcomes. Here, we have applied serological proteome analysis (SERPA), an immunoproteomics approach, for the detection of ‘tumor-associated antigens (TAAs) that elicit humoral response’ in early stage GBC patients. Methods Total protein from pooled tumor tissue of GBC patients (n = 7) was resolved by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) followed by immunoblotting using pooled blood plasma from healthy volunteers (n = 11) or gallstone disease (GSD) cases (n = 11) or early stage GBC (Stage I and II) (n = 5) or GBC stage IIIA (n = 9). 2-D gel and immunoblot images were acquired and analyzed using PDQuest software to identify immunoreactive spots in GBC cases in comparison to controls. Proteins from immunoreactive spots were identified by liquid chromatography- tandem mass spectrometric analysis (LC-MS/MS). Autoantibody levels for two of the functionally relevant proteins were investigated in individual plasma samples (52 cases and 89 controls) by dot blot assay using recombinant proteins. Results Image analysis using PDQuest software identified 25 protein spots with significantly high or specific immunoreactivity in GBC cases. Mass spectrometric analysis of 8 corresponding protein spots showing intense immunoreactivity (based on densitometric analysis) in early stage GBC or GBC stage IIIA cases led to the identification of 27 proteins. Some of the identified proteins include ANXA1, HSPD1, CA1, CA2, ALDOA and CTSD. Among the two proteins, namely ANXA1 and HSPD1 verified using a cohort of samples, significantly elevated autoantibody levels against ANXA1 were observed in early stage GBC cases in comparison to healthy volunteers or GSD cases (unpaired t-test, p < 0.05). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis for ANXA1 showed an Area under the Curve (AUC) of 0.69, with 41.7% sensitivity against a specificity of 89.9% for early stage GBC. IHC analysis for ANXA1 protein showed ‘high’ expression levels in 72% of GBC cases whereas all the controls showed ‘low’ expression levels. Conclusions The study suggests that the ANXA1 autoantibody levels against ANXA1 may be potentially employed for early stage detection of GBC patients. Other proteins could also be explored and verified in a large cohort of clinical samples.

Abstract
Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is the commonest biliary tract cancer with an ill-defined etiology. We examined the role of Cd+2 exposures in a primary human gallbladder (GB) cell line model in this study. Cd+2 exposures induced decreased cell viability, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, altered Akt/ERK signaling pathway activation, PGE2 and COX-2 expression in a human primary gallbladder epithelial cell model. Pharmacological inhibitors were used to determine the key drivers of elevated COX-2 expression due to Cd+2 exposure. Our results show Cd+2 causes a dose-dependent reduction in GB cell viability (EC50 value - 18.6 μM). Dose-dependent activation of phospho-Akt and phospho-ERK signaling pathways via increased phosphoprotein expression was observed due to Cd+2. Signaling activation of Akt and ERK was prevented by 5 mM N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC), establishing the role of ROS as a key driver in the activation process. Importantly, we observed Cd+2 also caused a dose dependent change in the COX-2 and PGE2 expression levels. PI3K-Akt and NF-kB signaling pathways play a key role in Cd+2 exposure induced COX-2 activation in the gallbladder epithelial cells. In conclusion, our study measures the toxicological effects of Cd+2 exposures on human GB epithelial cells for the first time and establishes the role of Cd+2 as a possible driver of the Akt/ERK pathway overactivity and chronic inflammation in gallbladder carcinogenesis.

Abstract
Background Prognosis of gallbladder cancer (GBC) has not changed in the past 20 years. Comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) carries potential to determine the actionability for multiple targets, including ERBB2 , ERBB3 , MET , ROSI , FGFR , and PIK3 . This study evaluates the role of CGP and targeted therapies. Methods This is a multicenter, prospective, single-arm study. All consecutive patients of unresectable and/or metastatic GBC of age ≥18 years were enrolled. Hybrid capture-based CGP was performed by Foundation Medicine CDx. All patients received first-line chemotherapy with gemcitabine-cisplatin regimen. Patients with ERBB2/3 amplification received trastuzumab with capecitabine or nab-paclitaxel, and patients with MET amplification were treated with crizotinib. For ERBB2/3 mutations, lapatinib plus capecitabine regimen was used. Results Fifty patients were studied with a median age of 56 years (range 26-83) and a male-to-female ratio of 1:1.6. ERBB2 and ERBB3 amplification was seen in 9 (18%) and 2 (4%) patients, respectively. Four patients with ERBB2 amplification received trastuzumab and/or lapatinib, showed partial response, and maintained response beyond 12 weeks. One patient had mixed response, whereas two patients progressed on trastuzumab and lapatinib. Three patients with ERBB3 mutations showed response to lapatinib-capecitabine. One patient with MET amplification responded to crizotinib for 4 weeks. PIK3 mutations were present in 14% of cases and were independent of ERBB aberrations. Conclusion GBC is enriched in 28% of patients with ERBB2 and ERBB3 amplifications and/or mutations. Responses are seen with lapatinib in concurrent ERBB2 mutation and amplification. ERBB3 mutation showed response to lapatinib. MET and PIK3 are new findings in GBC, which may be targeted.

Abstract
AIM Thick-walled gallbladder is difficult to characterize on conventional imaging. 18F-FDG PET was used to differentiate benign and malignant wall thickness and compared with histopathology. METHODS Thirty patients with gallbladder (GB) wall thickening (focal > 4 mm and diffuse > 7 mm), underwents uspected on ultrasound, or CT scan, and underwent 18F-FDG PET. Histopathology of the specimen was compared with imaging findings. RESULTS The mean age was 48.22 ± 31.33 years with a M:F 1:4 ratio. Twenty patients had diffuse and 10 had focal thickening. On 18F-FDG PET, lesion was benign in 12, malignant in 13, and indeterminate in 5. Histopathology was malignancy in 12; benign in 18-chronic cholecystitis in 11, xanthogranulomatous in 4, IgG4 related in 2, and polyp in 1. The mean GB wall thickness was 7.79 ± 3.59 mm (10.34 malignant and 6.10 in benign, p = 0.001). At a cutoff of 8.5 mm, the sensitivity and specificity of detecting malignancy was 94% and 67%. The mean SUV uptake was 7.46 (benign 4.51, malignant 14.26, p = 0.0102). At a cutoff of 5.95, the sensitivity and specificity of detecting malignancy was 92% and 79%. For 18F-FDG PET, overall sensitivity was 91%, specificity 79%, PPV 77%, NPV 92%, and diagnostic accuracy was 84%. CONCLUSION 18F-FDG PET is a reliable method of differentiation between benign and malignant thickening of the gallbladder particularly when wall thickness and SUV value is taken into account.

A Comparative Analysis of Clinical Characteristics and Histomorphologic and Immunohistochemical Spectrum of Gallbladder Carcinoma in Young Adults (< 45 Years) and Elderly Adults (> 60 Years). Indian J Surg Oncol 2020; 11:297-305. [PMID: 32523278 DOI: 10.1007/s13193-020-01044-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2019] [Accepted: 01/27/2020] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Gallbladder carcinoma (GBC) is more frequent after 60 years of age; its behavior in young adults has not been much studied. A retrospective analysis was performed in patients who underwent a cholecystectomy procedure between the years 2001 to 2016. A group of young patients (< 45) were compared with elderly patients (> 60 years) with reference to various clinical, histomorphologic, and immunohistochemical parameters. Statistical analysis was performed using t test and Fisher's test. Survival curves were calculated by Kaplan-Meier actuarial survival curves and log-rank tests. One hundred and one patients with GBC were observed during the study period. Of these, 14 patients (13.9%) belonged to the study group (age range 20 to 45 years) and 43 patients (42.6%) constituted the comparison elderly control group (age range 60 to 80 years). Forty-four pts. were in the middle-aged group (46 to 59 years) and were thus excluded from the study. With reference to age (< 45 and > 60), no significant difference was found in sex (females 64.3% vs 69.8%, p = 0.7), presence of gall stones (64% vs 60%, p = 0.8), advanced disease at presentation (T4) (14.3% vs 7%, p = 0.40), incidental detection of gallbladder carcinoma (28.5% vs 28%, p = 0.9), tumor stage at presentation (stage I/II) (35.7% vs 49%, p = 0.39), and poor differentiation (tumor grades G3) (14% vs 12%, p = 0.79). Full-length involvement (28.5% vs 11.6%, p = 0.015) of the gallbladder and abundant tumor necrosis (43% vs 14%, p = 0.021) were more common in the younger patients group whereas adenosquamous and pure squamous cell carcinoma were predominantly observed in elderly patients. Immunohistochemical studies showed higher percentage of overexpression of p53 and Ki-67 proliferation indices in the younger population. Overall survival in younger patients was 48 months whereas in elderly patients it was 36 months. Histological markers denoting aggressive tumor behavior were observed in gallbladder carcinomas of younger individuals; further studies are needed to delineate the differences in molecular mechanisms involved in progression of the tumor in the two groups.
