Review Title: Evaluation and management of incidental gallbladder cancer
Abstract: Given the ubiquity of laparoscopic cholecystectomy in the modern era, the incidence of incidentally diagnosed gallbladder cancers (GBCs) is rising. This unique clinical scenario poses specific challenges regarding the role of staging, re-resection, and adjuvant treatment for patients with this disease. This review will address these controversies with the latest published data. © Chinese Clinical Oncology. All rights reserved.
