This work reports a retrospective multicenter study of the treatment and prognosis of 746 patients with gall bladder cancers and 684 patients with extrahepatic biliary duct cancers. Gallbladder cancers: Adenocarcinoma was encountered in 92.6% of cases, 107 were limited to the gallbladder. Removal was possible in 27% of the patients. Overall operative mortality was 21%. Overall survival at one year was 14%. The projected five-year survival for cancers limited to the gall bladder treated by simple cholecystectomy was 93% for noninvasive, "in situ" cancers. The survival was 18% with mucosal involvement, and 10% with extension to the gall bladder wall. Extrahepatic biliary duct cancers: Adenocarcinoma was encountered in 99.7% of assess; 40 were limited exclusively to the biliary ducts. 384 involved the upper 1/3 segment of the biliary duct, 86 the middle 1/3, and 121 for the lower 1/3. Cancers involving two or more of these segments were encountered in 93 cases. Removal of the cancer from these four locations was possible in respectively 30%, 50%, 50% and 7% of cases. Overall operative mortality was 27.7% and after removal: 13.5% for the upper biliary duct segment, 18.1% for the middle 1/3, and 20% for the lower 1/3. The mortality was 25% for cancer that involved two or more of these segments. Analysis related to age demonstrated a postoperative mortality of 16% in patients less than 70 years of age and 59.1% after 70 years. The five-year survival after surgery was projected to be 12% for cancers of the upper 1/3 segment, 15% in middle and 30% in the lower 1/3.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
