Core Tip	Gall bladder (GB) wall is thin and important adjacent organs get easily infiltrated. Tumor in GB neck needs hepatectomy and infiltration of duodenum/pancreas necessitates pancreato-duodenectomy; mortality of these procedures is high. Survival in gall bladder cancer (GBC), even after R0 resection, is poor. There is no role of neo-adjuvant or adjuvant therapy. Early GBC, diagnosed incidentally after cholecystectomy for stones, requires reoperation but most surgeons are not aware of this. GBC, uncommon in the West, has not received much attention. Preventive cholecystectomy is not recommended and there is no marker for screening. GBC is a bad cancer per se!
