Survival Benefit of Adjuvant Chemotherapy in Resected Gallbladder Adenocarcinoma

Adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) shows a significant survival advantage in patients with resected gallbladder adenocarcinoma, according to a retrospective cohort analysis.

These findings support the use of AC for personalized therapy in patients with resected gallbladder adenocarcinoma.
