Background: Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is the most common and aggressive subtype of biliary tract cancer (BTC) and has a poor prognosis. A newly developed regimen of gemcitabine, cisplatin, and durvalumab shows promise for the treatment of advanced BTC. However, the efficacy of this treatment for GBC remains unclear.

Gallbladder carcinoma (GBC) is the most common malignant tumor of biliary tract, with poor prognosis due to its aggressive nature and limited therapeutic options. Early detection of GBC is a major challenge, with most GBCs being detected accidentally during cholecystectomy procedures for gallbladder stones. This letter comments on the recent article by Deqing in the , which summarized the various current methods used in early diagnosis of GBC, including endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) examination of the gallbladder for high-risk GBC patients, and the use of EUS-guided elastography, contrast-enhanced EUS, trans-papillary biopsy, natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery, magnifying endoscopy, choledochoscopy, and confocal laser endomicroscopy when necessary for early diagnosis of GBC.

Department of Clinical Laboratory, The Fifth Affiliated Hospital, Southern Medical University, Guangzhou, Guangdong, China.
Background: Gallbladder and biliary tract cancers (GBTCs) are aggressive with poor prognosis, often undetected until advanced stages. High Body Mass Index (BMI) is a significant risk factor, contributing substantially to GBTC mortality and Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs). This study aimed to quantify the global burdens of GBTCs attributable to high BMI from 1990 to 2021, thereby developing more rational prevention and treatment strategies for GBTC.

Telomerase reverse transcriptase gene promoter (TERT) mutations are biomarkers that predict survival and responses to immune checkpoint inhibitors in various malignancies. However, their prevalence and clinicopathologic characteristics in biliary tract carcinomas are largely unknown. We performed a comprehensive genomic profiling of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tumor tissue from 485 carcinomas, including intrahepatic (n = 220), perihilar (n = 54), distal biliary tract (n = 110), and gallbladder (n = 101) cancers, using next-generation sequencing.

Hepatobiliary Surgery, Hepatobiliary Disease Laboratory, Kailuan General Hospital, Tangshan, Hebei Province, China.
Rationale: Triple gallbladder is a rare congenital anatomical abnormality because of the incomplete regression of rudimentary bile ducts and is often not found until it is accidentally detected during imaging research.
Patient Concerns: We report a rare case of triple gallbladder malformation and review the English literature on biliary tract variation caused by gallbladder malformation. The diagnosis, treatment, and postoperative situation of the patients were summarized and analyzed.
