Methods: A retrospective analysis of the data of 52 patients of gallbladder cancer was done. Clinical presentation, laboratory investigations, treatment given, operative findings and histopathological findings were reviewed. Results: Forty-four patients were unresectable at presentation. A 2-year survival rate for early gallbladder cancer was 100% while it was only 29.2% in the advanced stage group. Conclusion: The overall 2-year survival rate was 39.58%. The TNM stage was the most important factor affecting the survival.
