Core Tip

Core Tip: Hepatic resection for incidental gallbladder cancer (IGC) should aim to: Remove the tumor that has directly invaded the liver through the gallbladder bed and prevent micrometastases that may recur around the gallbladder bed. No consensus is available regarding the extension of liver resection according to its tumor location (hepatic or peritoneal side) and whether hepatic resection can prevent liver recurrence. According to the recent studies, radical cholecystectomy without liver resection may be an adequate treatment for patients with peritoneal side T2 IGC.
