Abstract | Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is a cancer originating in the gallbladder. It is the most common malignancy of the biliary tract, accounting for 80-95% of biliary tract cancers (Zhu et al., 2010; Hundal & Shaffer 2014). However, it is still relatively rare condition in the UK, with approximately 1130 new cases diagnosed each year (Cancer Research UK, 2023) equating to less than 1% of all cancers. Nevertheless, the incidence of GBC has risen by 67% since the early 1990s. |
