Global trends in gallbladder cancer survival: A 30-year analysis of cancer registry data.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Gallbladder cancer has historically been characterized with a poor prognosis. This study aims to describe the global patterns and temporal trends in gallbladder cancer survival using data from cancer registries.

Methods

We conducted a systematic review by searching six databases-PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, SEER, CNKI, and Wanfang-for using of registry-based data published before January 1, 2024. Survival data were carefully extracted and analyzed from the final set of included studies.

Results

Among the 55 studies included, more than 320,000 people, suggest that survival improvements for gallbladder cancer have stagnated over the past three decades. No significant improvements in 5-year relative survival rates were observed worldwide. After age standard
