Study of Gallbladder cancer in the light of proteomics

Abstract

Abstract Gallbladder carcinoma (GBC) is a chronic malignancy of the gall bladder and intrahepatic and extrahepatic common bile ducts with a high mortality rate and forms the fifth common cancer of gastrointestinal tract globally. Women remain at higher risk than men and recent studies have reported the highest rate of incidence in women from Delhi, India. GBC treatment suffers from the disadvantage of lack of suitable biomarkers for early diagnosis of the disease. Running title: Proteomic studies in Gallbladder Cancer: Recent Development
