Effects of radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and chemoradiotherapy on survival outcomes in patients with gallbladder carcinoma: a real population-based study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The clinical value of radiotherapy or chemotherapy in gallbladder carcinoma (GBC) remains controversial, especially for GBCs at different stages. Therefore, this study analyzed the effects of radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and concurrent chemoradiotherapy on overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) in patients with different stages of GBC based on data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database.

Methods

Data on patients diagnosed with GBC from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2017 were collected from the SEER database, and those involved patients were divided into the following groups according to their treatment regimens: non-therapy group, radiotherapy alone group, chemotherapy alone group, and concurrent chemoradiotherapy g
