Gallbladder carcinoma is an exceedingly rare and fatal cancer. With stage 1 disease having a 5-year survival of only 50%, a diagnosis of gallbladder cancer carries a grim prognosis. Fortunately, especially in the developed world, it is exceedingly rare. Annual rates are reported as low as 1 - 2.5 per 100,000 people in the United States. Over the past 14 years, Newark Beth Israel in New Jersey has diagnosed 21 patients with gallbladder cancer. The purpose of this case report was to describe four new cases which occurred over a 30-day period in 2015 and review the risk factors, diagnosis and treatment strategies for this terrible disease.
胆囊癌是一种极其罕见且致命的癌症。1期疾病的5年生存率仅为50%,胆囊癌的诊断预后严峻。幸运的是,尤其是在发达国家,它极为罕见。据报道,美国的年发病率低至每10万人中有1 - 2.5例。在过去14年里,新泽西州的纽瓦克贝斯以色列医院诊断出21例胆囊癌患者。本病例报告的目的是描述2015年在30天内发生的4例新病例,并回顾这种可怕疾病的危险因素、诊断和治疗策略。
