Methods and benefits of gallbladder cancer treatment in German medical practice

The gallbladder is an oblong-shaped organ, 7-8 cm long, located below the liver. Its function is to store bile and then release it into the digestive tract as needed.

Gallbladder cancer is a malignant tumor that grows from glandular cells. Almost all tumors are adenocarcinomas. Much less common are adenosquamous carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and carcinosarcoma.

Clinics in Germany use innovative methods to treat gallbladder cancer:

?? Radiation therapy - since cancer is most often found at an inoperable stage, radiation therapy is the primary method of local tumor control for most patients. And for those who have had radical surgery, it is a good method for reducing the risk of recurrence.

?? Chemotherapy - if the patient's general condition is good enough to tolerate radiation therapy and chemotherapy at the same time, they can be combined. This provides a better effect and gives patients a longer life expectancy.

?? Targeted therapy and immunotherapy - the only approved immunotherapy medication so far is a PD-1 inhibitor. Other drugs are also used as part of clinical trials. These include cancer vaccines and targeted therapy with angiogenesis inhibitors and EGFR-targeting agents.
