Resumen

SCHAERER ELIZECHE, Pablo et al. Prevalence of gallbladder cancer in patients undergoing cholecystectomy in a Third-Level Hospital in 2021 in Paraguay. An. Fac. Cienc. Méd. (Asunción) [online]. 2024, vol.57, n.1, pp.60-66. ISSN 1816-8949.  https://doi.org/10.18004/anales/2024.057.01.60.

Introduction:

Gallbladder cancer (CVB) is the most common neoplasm of the bile ducts; its diagnosis is usually made late, leading to a reduction in therapeutic options and high mortality. The importance of making a timely diagnosis is the improvement in prognosis due to greater therapeutic options and even cure of the disease, which makes it very relevant to know the prevalence of CVB in cholecystectomized patients.

Objectives:

Determine the prevalence of gallbladder cancer in the pathological anatomy of cholecystectomized patients at the Barrio Obrero General Hospital in the year 2021.

Materials and methods:

Observational, descriptive, retrospective and cross-sectional study, with data collected from clinical records: age, sex, reason for consultation, personal pathological history and baseline pathologies, operative finding and pathological anatomy results. The data were loaded into an Excel spreadsheet and analyzed statistically.

Results:

2 poorly differentiated carcinomas were diagnosed (3.5%) of all cholecystectomies. The average age was 39 years (SD +/- 14;16), female (63%). The most frequent comorbidities were obesity (58.7%), high blood pressure (33.8%), diabetes and dyslipidemia (12.8% each).

Conclusion:

Gallbladder cancer has a high regional prevalence, due to risk factors related to lifestyle and diet. The most striking finding was a higher prevalence in the age group between 31-50 years rather than those over 60 years of age.
