Risk Factors for Incidental Gallbladder Cancer Found During Cholecystectomy for Cholelithiasis: A Case–Control Study
In this case-control study, 5 independent risk factors were identified for early detection of asymptomatic individuals with cholelithiasis at high risk of harboring GBC that might benefit from cholecystectomy. High clinical suspicion for GBC improves the management of patients with cholelithiasis through advanced imaging work-up and appropriate surgical approach, avoiding reoperations.
