Core Tip Gallbladder cancer (GBC) prognosis is traditionally viewed through the lens of aggressive tumor biology. However, in intermediate-incidence regions like Brazil, systemic fragmentation often prevents curative intent. This opinion review proposes a paradigm shift: Classifying healthcare logistics as a modifiable prognostic factor. By integrating molecular stratification, focusing on TP53 and HER2, with logistical “auto-alerts” and neoadjuvant “biological filters”, we can bridge the survival gap. Optimizing the “therapeutic window” between incidental diagnosis and radical surgery is as crucial as the surgical technique itself in transforming GBC outcomes.
