Gallbladder Cancer Treatment

Gallbladder cancer is treated in several ways. It depends on the kind of gallbladder cancer and how far it has spread. Treatments include surgery, chemotherapy, targeted and radiation therapy or a combination of these. 

. Surgery: Doctors remove cancer tissue in an operation

. Chemotherapy: Using special medicines to shrink or kill the cancer. The drugs can be pills you take or medicines given in your veins, or sometimes both.

. Radiation: Using high-energy rays (similar to X-rays) to kill the cancer.

Gallbladder Cancer Surgery 

a) Radical Cholecystectomy surgery 

Treatment :  Radical Cholecystectomy
Success Rate : 90-98%
Basic Package : 7500 USD-8000 USD  (APPROX).
Total Stay in Hospital : 5-7 days.
Total Stay in India : 18-20 days

Extended (Radical) Cholecystectomy: Often, an extended cholecystectomy is used for patients with gallbladder cancer to decrease the risk of recurrence. This involves removing the gallbladder, part of the liver, and several lymph nodes.

Chemotherapy

Treatment :  Chemotherapy
Success Rate : 80-85%
Basic Package : 600 USD-2000 USD  (per cycle)
Total Stay in Hospital : 1-2 days.
Total Stay in India : 60 days

Chemotherapy is a drug treatment that uses powerful chemicals to kill fast-growing cells in your body. 

Targeted Therapy

Treatment : Targeted Therapy
Success Rate : 80-90%
Basic Package : 10000 USD-12000 USD  (per cycle)
Total Stay in Hospital : 3-4 days.
Total Stay in India : 30-60 days

Targeted therapy is a cancer treatment that uses drugs to target specific genes and proteins that are involved in the growth and survival of cancer cells. Targeted therapy can affect the tissue environment that helps a cancer grow and survive or it can target cells related to cancer growth, like blood vessel cells.

Radiation Therapy

a) Treatment : Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT) 
Success Rate : 97-99%
Basic Package : 6000 USD  (APPROX).
Total Stay in Hospital : 0 days.
Total Stay in India : 20-25 days

Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT) refers to the use of imaging, usually CT scans and X-rays, to help precisely target the cancer with radiation therapy. This is another important advance in the radiation therapy technology that improves the chance of killing a cancer whilst reducing the risk of damaging normal body tissues and structures. 

b) Treatment : Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT)
Success Rate : 97-99%
Basic Package : 4500 USD  (APPROX).
Total Stay in Hospital : 0 days.
Total Stay in India : 20-25 days

Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is the most advanced form of 3-D conformal radiation therapy, a technique that adjusts the radiation beam to the contours of a tumor, allowing for higher, more effective doses of radiation to be delivered while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissue.
