Article Synopsis
- The Delphi consensus study, conducted by IHPBA-APHPBA, aimed to create global practice guidelines for managing gallbladder cancer (GBC).
- Experts from 17 countries participated in a four-round consensus process, where 68 clinical questions were posed and a consensus was reached if more than 75% of participants agreed.
- The study achieved consensus on 92.6% of the questions, covering important aspects of GBC management, but noted that further research is needed on unresolved issues such as the definitions of borderline resectable and locally advanced GBC.
Large differences in terms of incidence and mortality due to gallbladder cancer (GBC) have been reported worldwide. Moreover, it seems that GBC has unique characteristics in South America. We surveyed the literature looking for information about the epidemiology, basic and translational research, and clinical trials performed in South America in order to critically analyze the magnitude of this health problem in the region.
