Bile duct involvement portends poor prognosis in resected gallbladder carcinoma.

CONCLUSIONS: All patients with BD involvement in our population died of the disease. The subset of patients with resectable GBC and BD involvement is a group that is at high risk for recurrence and should be treated as such. In our small population, preoperative and intraoperative methods evaluating BD involvement were unreliable. PMID: 24147157 [PubMed]
