Gallbladder carcinoma (GBC) is a rare and deadly disease. The only curative option is a total surgical resection. If the disease is inoperable, palliative combination chemotherapy with gemcitabine-cisplatin remains the standard of care. We present here a case of a 47-year-old gentleman diagnosed with metastatic GBC who saw a complete resolution of his disease with seven cycles of standard gemcitabine-cisplatin chemotherapy. This case illustrates the importance of multidisciplinary care to explore all available options to provide optimal and tailored patient care.
