Incidence and Prognosis of Biliary Tract and Gallbladder Cancers in a Belgian Academic Hospital

ConclusionsWe found that the incidence of biliary tract and gallbladder cancers increased over a period of 20  years in our center. Further investigations are needed to determine the reasons for this increase. Although new therapies are emerging, the prognosis remains poor for these cancers. Determining risk factors might promote the development of preventive approaches.
