Yes. Per the U.S. National Cancer Institute, gallbladder cancer is often an adenocarcinoma that is sometimes found incidentally when the gallbladder is removed for gallstones. Istanbul centers offer surgery — cholecystectomy, or extended radical resection removing part of the liver and nearby lymph nodes for more advanced but still resectable disease — along with chemotherapy, radiation and chemoradiation, plus targeted therapy or immunotherapy where molecular testing supports it. Because resectability drives everything, the honest first step is a free case review of your own imaging and pathology, and you can verify a hospital's state authorization yourself.
