Table 2 Surgical procedures for mucosa <strong>an</strong>d T1b gallbladder c<strong>an</strong>cer n (%)<br />
Eight patients (1.1%) with T1a GB c<strong>an</strong>cer [3,4,10-12,18,26] <strong>an</strong>d<br />
52 patients (9.3%) with T1b GB c<strong>an</strong>cer [4-7,11,12,17-19,27,32] died<br />
<strong>of</strong> recurrent GB c<strong>an</strong>cer (P < 0.01). The studies reporting<br />
recurrent GB c<strong>an</strong>cer are listed in Table 5. C<strong>as</strong>es <strong>of</strong> T1a<br />
GB c<strong>an</strong>cer recurrence <strong>an</strong>d the recurrence pattern <strong>of</strong> T1b<br />
GB c<strong>an</strong>cer are summarized in Tables 6 <strong>an</strong>d 7, respectively.<br />
Survival rate<br />
Twenty-one publications [1,3,5-11,13-21,27,30,32] described the<br />
5-year survival rate <strong>of</strong> GB c<strong>an</strong>cer patients. The 5-year<br />
survival rate <strong>of</strong> patients with T1a <strong>an</strong>d T1b GB c<strong>an</strong>cer is<br />
45%-100% <strong>an</strong>d 37.5%-100%, respectively (Table 8).<br />
Only 6 publications [5,6,11,15,17,27] compared the survival<br />
rates <strong>of</strong> patients after simple cholecystectomy or extended<br />
cholecystectomy. No signific<strong>an</strong>t difference w<strong>as</strong> observed<br />
in the survival rate <strong>of</strong> patients with T1a GB c<strong>an</strong>cer after<br />
different operative procedures. However, 3 publications<br />
[5,11,27] showed a signific<strong>an</strong>tly longer survival time <strong>of</strong><br />
patients with T1b GB c<strong>an</strong>cer after extended cholecystectomy<br />
(Table 9).<br />
Outcome <strong>of</strong> patients after laparoscopic cholecystectomy<br />

Only two studies [4,12] compared the survival rates <strong>of</strong> patients<br />
with T1 GB c<strong>an</strong>cer after laparoscopic cholecystectomy<br />
<strong>an</strong>d open cholecystectomy. No signific<strong>an</strong>t difference<br />

w<strong>as</strong> observed in the survival rate <strong>of</strong> patients after the two<br />
operative procedures. However, it must be emph<strong>as</strong>ized<br />
that the total number <strong>of</strong> patients included w<strong>as</strong> small. In<br />
addition, 6 studies [17-20,22,30] evaluated the safety <strong>of</strong> laparoscopic<br />
cholecystectomy on the b<strong>as</strong>is <strong>of</strong> recurrent GB<br />
c<strong>an</strong>cer <strong>an</strong>d survival rate <strong>of</strong> GB c<strong>an</strong>cer patients, showing<br />
a low recurrence rate <strong>an</strong>d a high survival rate (Table 10).<br />
Meta-<strong>an</strong>alysis could not be performed because no studies<br />
reported the hazard ratio for overall survival rate according<br />
to the surgical procedure.<br />

This review evaluated the surgical outcomes <strong>of</strong> patients<br />
with T1 GB c<strong>an</strong>cer. The evidence w<strong>as</strong> <strong>of</strong> low quality,<br />
because it w<strong>as</strong> obtained from the reviewed articles, <strong>an</strong>d<br />
most studies were c<strong>as</strong>e series. No study w<strong>as</strong> controlled,<br />
<strong>an</strong>d all reviewed articles were retrospective in nature. Furthermore,<br />
such studies usually involved a small number<br />
