title: Gall bladder cancer: proposal for a modification of the TNM classification.
abstract: Gall bladder cancer is the commonest biliary tract malignancy. The TNM classification of AJCC-UICC is the most widely accepted and most commonly used system for staging. We propose some modifications in the existing classification and recommend guidelines for management based on the stage of the disease.
