Gall bladder carcinoma is the most common biliary tract cancer. Delayed
presentation and early spread of tumor make it one of the lethal tumors with poor
prognosis. Considering that simple cholecystectomy for T1 disease could offer a
potential cure, it is increasingly needed to identify it at early stages.
Identification of high-risk cases and offering prophylactic cholecystectomy can
decrease the incidence of gallbladder carcinoma. With advances in diagnostic
tools like contrast-enhanced endoscopic ultrasound, elastography, multidetctor
CT, MRI, and PET scan, we can potentially diagnose gallbladder carcinoma at early
stages. This paper reviews the various diagnostic modalities available and an
algorithmic approach to early diagnosis of gallbladder carcinoma.
