CT Staging of Gallbladder Carcinoma and Its Role in Evaluation of Surgical Resectability / 实用放射学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate CT stage of carcinoma of gallbladder and its role in preoperative evaluation of surgical resectability.Methods CT staging with reference to current literature was made retrospectively in 80 cases of carcinoma of gallbladder proved pathologically and imaging studies.Surgical resectability was evaluated in combination with surgical and pathological results on different stages of this disease.Results In this group,there were stage Ⅰin 9 cases,stageⅡ in 18 cases,stage Ⅲin 42 cases and stageⅣ in 11 cases.32 cases were radically resected,among them,9 were stage Ⅰ,18 stage Ⅱ and 5 stage Ⅲ.Palliative resection was done on 31 cases;all were stage Ⅲ.Exploratory surgery were done on 9 cases(6 stage Ⅲ and 3 stage Ⅳ),by they were unresectable.8 cases (CT stage Ⅳ on CT)had no surgery,but treated otherwise.Conclusion CT studies and staging of gallbladder carcinoma are conducive to preoperative evaluation of surgical and choice of appropriate treatment planning.
