Does advanced gallbladder cancer need liver transplantation?

Some patients with advanced gallbladder cancer have accumulated to the liver. How should they be treated? In this case, can liver transplantation be done for patients with advanced gallbladder cancer? So, does the advanced gallbladder cancer affect the liver and need liver transplantation? Let's ask experts to give you a brief introduction to this problem. According to experts, at present, the most effective treatment for advanced gallbladder cancer is laparoscopic cholecystectomy to relieve the patient's condition in time. With the development of medical technology, laparoscopic cholecystectomy can be divided into antegrade (starting from cystic duct) resection and retrograde (starting from the bottom of gallbladder) resection. In recent years, with the continuous introduction of advanced medical technology and equipment, laparoscopic cholecystectomy has become the most mature and commonly used laparoscopic surgery in hepatobiliary surgery. Rich experience in operation, high safety and success rate, low complications and mortality. The application of laparoscopic technology and the cooperation of various advanced medical equipment make cholecystectomy more flexible, more reliable, smoother and shorter. Experts pointed out that in the late stage of gallbladder cancer, if the lesion metastasizes to the liver, liver transplantation is also needed in serious cases: when liver transplantation is needed in the late stage of gallbladder cancer, it is mainly because there are no symptoms in the early stage of gallbladder cancer, and it is difficult for people who are eager to lead a busy life to notice the occurrence of gallbladder cancer, fail to treat it in time, and some patients with advanced gallbladder cancer fail to take effective measures in time. However, the liver metastasis of gallbladder cancer can easily continue to develop, damage the liver, and have a great impact on the patient's liver. In severe cases, hepatectomy or direct liver transplantation should be done in time to prevent the disease from continuing malignant development. This is a good method to solve the advanced liver metastasis of gallbladder cancer, and it is also the most direct and thorough method. At present, it is generally believed that the treatment of gallbladder cancer should be based on complete resection of the tumor and negative pathological examination. If the advanced liver is seriously invaded, liver transplantation should be performed in time. Although gallbladder cancer can be treated by corresponding treatment methods after it develops to the advanced stage of liver metastasis, the operation is affected by various factors, such as the cost and source of liver transplantation, which more or less affects the complete implementation of the operation. Therefore, it is suggested that everyone should have an accurate attitude towards the treatment of advanced gallbladder cancer, and it is best to find and treat it early. Share button
