Abstract

The Authors shortly describe some essential aspects of the gall-bladder primitive cancer, and state their experience about 19 cases of malignant neoplasms observed out of 2280 operations on biliary duct. They confirm the extremely severe prognosis of such disease due to diagnostic delay. As a conclusion, they affirm the simple cholecystectomy is the choice operation in the precocious forms, and suggest the preventive cholecystectomy in the risk patients for such pathology.
