title: [A case in which good quality of life was maintained by stent therapy for duodenal stenosis caused by gallbladder cancer invasion].
abstract: We treated an 80-year-old woman with gallbladder cancer. Because of her advanced age, chemotherapy was performed, but obstructive jaundice and duodenal stenosis were caused by invasion of the tumor. We inserted a metallic stent into the common bile duct and duodenum 3 times. As a result, she could eat and live at home with good quality of life.
