SUMMARY:Management of Biliary and Gall Bladder Tumours
DESCRIPTION:SUMMARY \nAdvances in the Multidisciplinary Management of Biliary and Gallbladder Tumours \nSpeakers: Prof. Elly Ogutu\, Dr. Mohan Ramchandani\, Dr. Kausik Bhattacharya\, Dr. M. Vamshi Krishna \nDate: 19 February 2026 \nThis session examined the management of biliary and gallbladder tumours through a multidisciplinary lens\, highlighting the importance of coordinated approaches across endoscopy\, surgery and oncology in improving patient outcomes. \nA central theme was the role of accurate and timely diagnosis\, with particular emphasis on tissue acquisition and the contribution of advanced endoscopic techniques in guiding clinical decision-making. The discussion underscored how delays or limitations in diagnostic pathways can significantly influence treatment options and outcomes. \nThrough the KNH–UoN strategic training partnership and collaboration with the Asian Institute of Gastroenterology\, the session reflected the value of regional expertise and diaspora engagement in strengthening clinical capacity and expanding access to specialised skills. \nFrom a clinical perspective\, evolving therapeutic strategies—including advances in surgical techniques and radiation oncology—were highlighted as critical components of care\, particularly when integrated within a multidisciplinary framework that supports individualized treatment planning. \nAcross the session\, a consistent message emerged: improving outcomes in biliary and gallbladder cancers will depend on strengthening diagnostic pathways and ensuring coordinated\, multidisciplinary care across the patient journey. \nKey Takeaways \n\nEarly and accurate diagnosis remains central to effective management.\nAdvanced endoscopic techniques play a key role in tissue sampling and staging.\nMultidisciplinary coordination improves treatment planning and outcomes.\nRegional and diaspora collaboration strengthens clinical capacity.\nIntegration of surgical\, endoscopic and oncological care is essential.
