Gall bladder cancer (GBC) represents the most common biliary tract malignancy, it however it is a rare malignancy overall. Historical work has established complete resection as standard of care. Despite R0 resection the local recurrence (LR) rates remain high. High LR rates prompted interest in study of role of adjuvant therapy in form of radiotherapy and/ or chemotherapy after resection. We attempt to review the role of adjuvant radiotherapy in GBC and also to discuss prognostic factors and key problems in management of gall bladder cancers.
