Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is a rare and lethal malignancy; however, it represents the most common type of biliary tract cancer. Patients with GBC are often diagnosed at an advanced stage, thus, unfortunately, losing the opportunity for curative surgical intervention. This situation leads to lower quality of life and higher mortality rates. In recent years, the rapid development of endoscopic equipment and techniques has provided new avenues and possibilities for the early and minimally invasive diagnosis and treatment of GBC. This editorial comments on the article by Pavlidis . Building upon their work, we explore the new needs and corresponding models for managing GBC from the endoscopic diagnosis and treatment perspective.
胆囊癌（GBC）是一种罕见的致命性恶性肿瘤；然而，它却是最常见的胆道癌类型。胆囊癌患者常常在疾病晚期才被诊断出来，因此，很不幸地失去了进行根治性手术干预的机会。这种情况导致生活质量下降和死亡率升高。近年来，内镜设备和技术的快速发展为胆囊癌的早期及微创诊断与治疗提供了新途径和可能性。这篇社论对帕夫利迪斯的文章进行了评论。基于他们的工作，我们从内镜诊断与治疗的角度探讨了管理胆囊癌的新需求及相应模式。
