Demographic characteristics of gallbladder cancer in an area endemic for biliary calculi.

M R Whetstone, E C Saltzstein, L C Mercer.   

Abstract

A 10 year retrospective study of 134 patients in whom gallbladder cancer developed in El Paso County was undertaken. Improved survival was noted in younger, female, and Hispanic patients, which appears to be a unique demographic characteristic of gallbladder cancer in an area endemic for biliary calculi. These prolonged survival data may all be explained by early diagnosis. In addition, there is suggestive evidence that a multidisciplinary approach of operation plus adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy results in greater length of survival.
