1 Gallbladder Cancer and Cholangiocarcinoma Yuman Fong, MD Upper Gastrointestinal Cancer Seminar Copenhagen, Denmark 2009

2 A.A. Blalock, Johns Hopkins Hosp. Bull. 35:391, 1924 "...in malignancy of the gallbladder, when a diagnosis can be made without exploration, no operation should be performed, inasmuch as it only shortens the patient's life."

3 Gallbladder Cancer Natural History 5,836 patients in literature ( ) 1978) Overall 5-year 5 survival of 4.1% Resection resulted in 16.5% 5-year 5 survival One 5-yr 5 survivor out of 2,115 non-resected patients Overall mean survival months Piehler, SG&O, 147:929, 1978 (collected review)

4 Gallbladder Cancer Epidemiology 90% of cases in patients over 50 Male:Female ratio of 1: % of cases associated with gallstones 1% of cholecystectomy for gallstones 10% of porcelain gallbladders Approximately 2000 cases/ year

7 Gallbladder Cancer Presentation RUQ discomfort RUQ mass c/w distended gallbladder

8 Gallbladder Cancer Radiologic Findings

9 Radiologic Presentation of Gallbladder Cancer

10 Gallbladder Cancer Questions What is the appropriate extent of resection? Is a radical resection necessary for early stage disease? Is a radical resection justified for advanced disease? When patients present after simple cholecystectomy, is a re-operative radical resection necessary and justified?

11 Gallbladder Cancer Surgical Options Simple cholecystectomy Extended cholecystectomy Extended hepatic resection Hepatic resection and pancreaticoduodenectomy

12 Gallbladder Cancer Major Hepatic Resection as Therapy Treated by right lobectomy,, node dissection Three cases: two after previous exploration One One patient died peri-operatively One One died of disseminated recurrence One One alive NED at two years Wound implantation noted in one case on re- exploration Pack et al., Ann. Surg., 142:6, 1955

13 Gallbladder Cancer Major Hepatic Resection as Therapy First to advocate right lobectomy, lymph node dissection First report of wound implantation of tumor Pack et al., Ann. Surg., 142:6, 1955

30 Gallbladder Cancer Summary Unresected gallbladder cancer is a rapidly fatal disease Radical resection is indicated for T2-T4 T4 disease Long-term survival can result from resection of T4 cancer Patients presenting after prior non-curative cholecystectomy should be considered for radical re-resection resection

31 Peripheral Cholangiocarcinoma Location Hilar Distal GB CBD D PD 10 20% Large mass Unknown 1 o 40 60% Biliary confluence Most common 20 30% 10% of periampullary tumors

32 Cholangiocarcinoma Demographics Uncommon: 1.2/100,000 < 2% of all cancers Disease of elderly: 2/3 over 65 years. 10/100,000 in octogenarians Death results from hepatic failure or sepsis Carriaga and Henson. Cancer Suppl. 1995;75:171

33 Hilar Cholangiocarcinoma Gerald Klatskin, MD Thirteen cases reported in 1965 Adenocarcinoma at hepatic duct bifurcation Klatskin, G. American Journal of Medicine 1965;38:

34 Cholangiocarcinoma Anatomical Considerations Portal vein involvement Lobar atrophy Tumor contact w/ distortion, narrowing, encasement/occlusion. Small, hypoperfused lobe w/ crowded, dilated ducts. Lobar atrophy implies portal venous involvement Common 60% have one or both findings Mandate hepatic resection

35 Cholangiocarcinoma Anatomical Considerations Principal caudate duct enters LHD in most patients Additional drainage of the right portion of the caudate and caudate process is via the RHD

36 Cholangiocarcinoma Goals of Resection R0 resection Leaving a well-perfused liver remnant With adequate biliary drainage. Remove bile duct Remove involved liver Portal lymphadenectomy Remove/reconstruct areas of portal vein invasion Biliary reconstruction

37 Hilar Cholangiocarcinoma MSKCC Results 279 Patients 1/91 11/03 Unresectable at Presentation 64 patients, 23% (metastases in 26) Explored for Cure 215 Patients, 77% Unresectable 109 Patients, 51% (metastases in 90) Resected 106 Patients, 49%

44 Percutaneous Portal Vein Embolization

45 Pre-operative Biliary Drainage: Rationale Improve: Hepatic function Allow normal regeneration of liver remnant Decrease risk of post-operative hepatic failure Renal function, cell-mediated immunity, nutrition Indications: Sepsis Renal insufficiency Left dominant tumors Severe medical co-morbidity

46 Pre-operative Biliary Drainage Procedure-related complications Pancreatitis Biloma Biliary injury Hemorrhage Perforation

47 Summary Prolonged survival is possible after complete resection Advances in non-surgical therapy are needed Heightened awareness of intrahepatic cholangioca Hepatic resection required for hilar tumors Operative mortality has been high but is improving Points of ongoing debate: Pre-operative biliary drainage? Pre-operative portal vein embolization? Caudate resection for all patients? Extended lymphadenectomy?
