This document discusses malignant obstructive jaundice, focusing on cancers of the gallbladder and bile duct. It provides details on the etiology, risk factors, staging, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management of gallbladder cancer. Key points include that gallbladder cancer occurs more commonly in elderly women and is often diagnosed late, when many tumors are unresectable. Surgical resection aims to achieve R0 margins and may involve extended cholecystectomy or liver resection. Prognosis depends on pathological stage, with stage T1a having an excellent prognosis following cholecystectomy alone.
