Small Cell Carcinoma of the Gall Bladder: Role of Adjuvant Chemotherapy
Tóm tắt
Small cell cancer of the gallbladder is a rare malignancy with a poor prognosis. There is limited information in the literature on the best therapeutic approach towards this cancer with anecdotal therapy extrapolated from experience in small cell cancer of the lung. We are presenting a 70-year-old woman with this cancer who is undergoing multimodality treatment, along with a review of literature on previously reported cases.
