Surgery comparison for T2–T3 gallbladder cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a specific type of liver surgery (removing tissue in a wedge shape versus a different liver resection) improves outcomes for some patients with T2 or T3 gallbladder cancer. It may help decide the best surgical approach after the gallbladder has already been removed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your CT scan before surgery showed T2 or T3 gallbladder cancer
- After your initial simple gallbladder removal, the pathology report also confirmed T2 or T3 gallbladder cancer
- Cancer has not spread to the lining of the belly (peritoneal seeding) or to distant sites
- Surgeons believe the cancer can be completely removed with curative intent (radical resection)
- Your final pathology after surgery is not showing a different cancer type (for example, adenosquamous carcinoma or sarcoma)
- Your surgery must not be “R1” or “R2” (meaning cancer cells are found at the edge or too close to the cut)

This trial compares robot-assisted surgery to open surgery for people with gallbladder cancer that has been found after a gallbladder removal. The goal is to see which approach is better for the radical removal of remaining cancer.
This trial compares two different surgical approaches for treating bile duct cancer (cholangiocarcinoma) to see which method works better and is safer. You would undergo surgery and have your recovery and outcomes closely monitored.
This trial tests whether giving chemotherapy before surgery helps people with locally advanced gallbladder cancer that can still be removed. It may improve outcomes by shrinking the tumor beforehand.
This study tests a new surgical method for removing the gallbladder that tries to keep the back wall of the gallbladder intact. It may be safer for people with cirrhosis and gallstones who need surgery.
This trial looks at three different ways to treat people who have both gallstones and stones in the bile duct. It aims to find which approach works best and with the fewest complications.
This trial compares two different stomach cancer surgeries after removing the tumor, to see which works better for patients with stomach adenocarcinoma. It may help determine the safest approach and best recovery outcomes for people whose cancer has not spread.
