Background Currently, all frequently used staging systems in gallbladder cancer (GBC) are based on postoperative pathological examinations. In patients undergoing curative operation, there is no effective method to predict survival preoperatively. In this study, we explored whether a combined utilization of two tumor biomarkers, namely carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9) and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), could give a preoperative prediction of survival in resectable GBC.Methods Seventy-three patients who underwent radical resection for GBC were included in this study. A retrospective analysis of clinical pathological data was conducted.Results By multivariate analysis, CA 19-9 elevation (P
