Context: Treatment of Localized and Locally Advanced Gallbladder Cancer / Treatment Options for Localized and Locally Advanced Gallbladder Cancer

The use of EBRT with or without chemotherapy as a primary treatment has been reported to produce short-term disease control in small groups of patients. Similar benefits have been reported for radiation therapy, with or without chemotherapy, administered after resection.[9,10]

Source links and citations

There are no phase III studies to support the use of adjuvant radiation therapy, even for patients with high-risk localized disease.
