[A Case of Radical Hepatectomy in a Patient with Recurrent Liver Metastasis of Gallbladder Cancer after Successful Chemotherapy with GC+Durvalumab].

A 49-year-old man underwent an open cholecystectomy for advanced gallbladder cancer in 2021. Three months after surgery, the patient underwent an additional resection, which showed no malignant findings, but 12 months after surgery, contrast-enhanced CT and MRI showed a new mass lesion in segment 8 of the liver, and the patient was diagnosed with postoperative hepatic metastatic recurrence of gallbladder cancer. After referral to our institution, he received 1 course of gemcitabine+cisplatin(GC)therapy and 8 courses of gemcitabine+cisplatin+durvalumab(GCD)therapy. Contrast- enhanced CT and MRI showed that the metastases had shrunk, and PET scan showed no FDG accumulation. Two months after completion of chemotherapy, there was no evidence of metastatic enlargement and new metastasis including distant metastasis, and the patient was referred to our department. Since curative resection was expected, a laparoscopic partial hepatectomy of segment 8 of the liver was performed. Pathological diagnosis revealed no residual tumor. If the metastases could be well controlled by systemic chemotherapy, hepatectomy for hepatic metastases of biliary tract cancer could be a treatment option.
