Popis: Gallbladder cancer represents the most commonly encountered malignancy of the biliary tract which becomes symptomatic only in advanced stages of the disease when, in most cases, local invasion in unresectable structures is already present. Another significant problem regarding this pathology is related to the fact a positive diagnostic is difficult to be established preoperatively. The aim of the current paper is to discuss about the possible relationship between the preoperative number of circulating platelets and the overall prognosis in gallbladder cancer patients.
