Abstract
Gallbladder carcinoma (GBC) is more frequent after 60 years of age; its behavior in young adults has not been much studied. A retrospective analysis was performed in patients who underwent a cholecystectomy procedure between the years 2001 to 2016. A group of young patients (< 45) were compared with elderly patients (> 60 years) with reference to various clinical, histomorphologic, and immunohistochemical parameters. Statistical analysis was performed using t test and Fisher's test. Survival curves were calculated by Kaplan-Meier actuarial survival curves and log-rank tests. One hundred and one patients with GBC were observed during the study period. Of these, 14 patients (13.9%) belonged to the study group (age range 20 to 45 years) and 43 patients (42.6%) constituted the comparison elderly control group (age range 60 to 80 years). Forty-four pts. were in the middle-aged group (46 to 59 years) and were thus excluded from the study. With reference to age (< 45 and > 60), no significant difference was found in sex (females 64.3% vs 69.8%, p = 0.7), presence of gall stones (64% vs 60%, p = 0.8), advanced disease at presentation (T4) (14.3% vs 7%, p = 0.40), incidental detection of gallbladder carcinoma (28.5% vs 28%, p = 0.9), tu...Continue Reading
