Patients with gallbladder cancer presenting with acute cholecystitis had a 20% overall 5-year survival rate, with stage-specific survival rates varying. A third of patients with gallbladder cancer presented with acute cholecystitis but did not experience significantly different survival outcomes compared to other presentations. Age, gender, and the presence of bile spillage during cholecystectomy did not significantly impact survival. These findings suggest that outcomes in patients with gallbladder cancer and acute cholecystitis are comparable to those found incidentally.
