  2. opisthorchis
25
Q

How to cholesterol polyps look on US?

A

hyperechoic compared to the liver

26
Q

How to adenomas look on US?

A

isoechoic

solitary

homogenous

smooth

27
Q

How does adenomyomatosis look on US?

A

focal gallbladder wall thickening with diffuse/segmental round anechoic foci

28
Q

How does adenocarcinoma look on US?

A

homogenous/hetergenous

isoechoic

solitary

29
Q

How do adenomas and adenocarcinoma look different on US?

A

adenomas are usually smooth and homogenous

30
Q

What is the staging work up for gallbladder cancer?

A
  1. Liver protocol CT or MRI if contraindicated
  2. CT chest and pelvis
  3. endoscopic U/S if CT equivocal
  4. Don’t need routine PET
  5. Elevated CA 19-9 and CEA may be suggestive of GB cancer but not diagnostic
31
Q

What is the staging work up for gallbladder cancer found incidentally during surgery?

A
  1. Frozen section plus any suspicious lymph nodes
  2. CT liver protocol + CT chest, MRI if CI
  3. If resectable: radical cholecystectomy with resection of segments IVB and V, lymphadenectomy, and hepatic/biliary resection as needed
  4. If unresectable: get microsatellite/mismatch repair testing and tumor mutational burden testing
32
Q

What is the staging work up for gallbladder cancer found incidentally on pathology that is T1a?

A

Observe

33
Q

What is the staging work up for gallbladder cancer found incidentally on pathology that is T1b or greater?

A
  1. Liver protocol CT, CT chest
  2. Consider staging laparoscopy
  3. if resectable do radical cholecystectomy with hepatic resection + lymphadenectomy +/- bild duct excision for malignant involvement
  4. if unresectable get MSI/MMR and TMB testing
34
Q

What is the staging work up for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma?

A
  1. Liver protocol CT, CT chest
  2. Consider CEA and CA 19-9, AFP
  3. LFT
  4. consider viral hepatitis serologies
  5. EGD and colonoscopy
  6. Biopsy
35
Q

What is the treatment for resetable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma?

A

staging laparoscopy then resection with regional lymphadenectomy

36
Q

What is the treatment for unresectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma or metastatic disease?

A

Get MSI/MMR, TMB testing then consider systemic therapy

37
Q

What is the work up for extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma?

A
  1. Liver protocol CT and CT chest
  2. cholangiography
  3. LFT
  4. consider CEA, CA 19-9
  5. consider EUS after surgical consultation
  6. consider serum IgG4 to rule out autoimmune cholangitis
38
Q

What is the primary treatment for resectable extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma?

A
  1. surgical exploration/staging laparoscopy
  2. consider preop drainage
  3. multidisciplinary review
  4. resection
  5. Adjuvant therapy with capacitabine
39
Q

What is the primary treatment for unresectable extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma?

A
  1. Biliary drainage if indicated
  2. biopsy (only after determining transplant status)
  3. get MSI/MMR/TMB testing
  4. Systemic treatment with Capecitabine
40
Q

What layer is gallbladder cancer T1a?

A

limited to lamina propria

41
Q

What layer is T2a in gallbladder cancer?

A

The cancer has grown through the muscle layer into the fibrous tissue on the side of the peritoneum (the lining of the abdominal cavity) (T2a).

42
Q

What layer is gallbladder cancer T1b?

A

started to grow into the muscular layer

simple cholecystectomy no longer sufficient

43
Q

When is it okay to do simple cholecystectomy for polyp?

A

When size is 1.0 cm to 1.9 cm

44
Q
A
