Core Tip	The outcome of gallbladder carcinoma is poor. In patients with early-stage disease, a 5-year survival rate of 75% is possible. Stage-adjusted therapy is key for improving survival. Despite the theoretical risk factors of gallbladder malignancies, only a third of gallbladder carcinomas are recognized preoperatively, and radical re-resection in cases of incidental discoveries of incidental or occult gallbladder carcinomas is often crucial to complete a so called radical cholecystectomy. Unfortunately, there are diverse interpretations and practices regarding stage-adjusted therapy for gallbladder carcinoma patients. The current data suggest that more radical therapy is warranted.
