Porcelain gallbladder is also rare. Some studies indicate that people with porcelain gallbladder have a high risk of developing gallbladder cancer, but other studies question this. The outlook is poor for recovery if the cancer is found after symptoms have started to occur, with a 5-year survival rate of close to 3%. [citation needed]

In the United States there has been an increase in the 5-year relative survival rate between people diagnosed with cancer in 1975-1977 (48.9%) and people diagnosed with cancer in 2007-2013 (69.2%); these figures coincide with a 20% decrease in cancer mortality from 1950 to 2014. [8]
Even when surgery is successful the 5-year survival is typically less than 50%. [6] Cholangiocarcinoma is rare in the Western world, with estimates of it occurring in 0.5–2 people per 100,000 per year. [1] [6] Rates are higher in Southeast Asia where liver flukes are common. [5] Rates in parts of Thailand are 60 per 100,000 per year. [5]
More young people are dying of some of these cancers as well; mortality from colorectal, gallbladder, testicular and uterine cancers has increased over the generations, as has the fatality rate of ...
While there was a decrease in overall cancer death rates in the United States between 1991 and 2021, experts from the American Association for Cancer Research predict there will have been more ...
A cholecystectomy is controversial in advanced cancer due to the low 5-year survival rate, especially if regional lymph nodes are involved. [19] Symptoms of gallbladder disease typically decrease after cholecystectomy unless the abdominal pain was caused by other digestive tract diseases such as irritable bowel syndrome. [4]
(Reuters) -Gilead Sciences' Trodelvy failed to improve survival for patients with advanced bladder cancer and only modestly extended the lives of previously treated patients with late-stage lung ...
