Primary extra-gastrointestinal stromal tumor of the gallbladder: A case report. (PubMed, World J Gastroenterol)
Primary gallbladder EGISTs are exceedingly rare, with insidious onset and nonspecific clinical manifestations. Histopathological examination combined with immunohistochemistry remains the cornerstone of definitive diagnosis.

Loss of Branched-Chain Amino Acid (BCAA) Metabolism Mediated by IGF2BP1-LPAL2-YBX1 Interaction Promotes Malignancy in Gallbladder Cancer. (PubMed, Cancer Lett)
Additionally, LPAL2 decreased YBX1 stability by promoting its ubiquitination-mediated degradation, while YBX1 inhibited the transcription of certain BCAA catabolic enzymes through binding to their promoters. In summary, the LPAL2-YBX1 interaction regulates BCAA metabolism to influence GBC cell proliferation, which could be targeted for therapeutic interventions in GBC treatment.

Clinical Efficacy and Safety of Gemcitabine-Cisplatin Combination in Metastatic Gallbladder Cancer: A Prospective Study from North India. (PubMed, J Gastrointest Cancer)
Gemcitabine-cisplatin remains effective and tolerable in metastatic GBC. Despite the emergence of Gemcitabine-Cisplatin with durvalumab as new standard, this prospective dataset provides valuable real-world outcomes from a high-incidence region with limited access to immunotherapy.

Clinical management and prognostic determinants of gallbladder neuroendocrine carcinoma: a single-institutional analysis of 31 cases. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
This study establishes AFP elevation, mixed histology, and delayed chemotherapy as critical determinants of poor prognosis in GB-NEC. Our findings emphasize the importance of early diagnosis, aggressive surgical resection, and timely initiation of platinum-based adjuvant therapy.

Molecular Mechanisms of the Ubiquitin-Specific Proteases (USPs) Family in Biliary Tract Cancer and Targeted Intervention Strategies. (PubMed, Biomedicines)
This review systematically summarizes the differential expression profiles of USP family members (e.g., USP1, USP3, USP7, USP8, USP9X, USP21, and USP22) in BTC and their clinical significance, with a focus on elucidating how specific USPs regulate tumor progression through key substrates, including poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1), dynamin-1-like protein (DNM1L), and O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT). Furthermore, based on recent advances, we discuss the therapeutic potential of small-molecule USP inhibitors in BTC targeted therapy, providing a theoretical foundation for developing novel precision treatment strategies.

HER2-targeted therapy combined with multidisciplinary management in advanced gallbladder cancer: a case report with 90-month survival. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
The patient achieved a prolonged period of disease stability, who was treated with various anti-HER2 targeted therapy, such as trastuzumab combined with pyrotinib and HER2-targeted antibody-drug conjugate (ADC). Dynamic CA199 levels paralleled the treatment efficacy. This report underscores the significance of molecular profiling-guided personalized therapy and integrated multidisciplinary management in the treatment of biliary tract cancers.

Guiding clinical decisions in incidental gallbladder cancer residual disease risk, liver resection extent, and selecting patients for adjuvant chemotherapy survival benefit. (PubMed, Int J Surg)
RD is a critical independent prognostic factor in IGBC, predicted by elevated CA19-9, open cholecystectomy, advanced T stage, PNI/MVI, and station 12c lymph nodes metastasis. For RD patients, segment IVB/V resection and ACT both significantly improve overall survival.

Review of risk factors and surgical treatment progress for gallbladder cancer. (PubMed, Hereditas)
Combating GBC requires a comprehensive strategy encompassing health education, screening of high-risk populations, precise staging, and individualized multimodal treatment. Future research should focus on building molecular subtype-based prognostic models, conducting high-level clinical studies to resolve surgical controversies, and exploring the integration of novel adjuvant therapies with traditional surgery.

Preoperative risk factors for early recurrence and relapse-free survival after R0 resection of gallbladder cancer. (PubMed, Medicine (Baltimore))
High glycated hemoglobin levels were also associated with early recurrence. In conclusion, active screening for early detection, reduction of inflammatory conditions, and management of diabetes may reduce early recurrence after R0 resection of GB cancer.
