Preference is given to letters commenting on contributions published recently in the JRSM. They should not exceed 300 words and should be typed double-spaced Adenocarcinoma of the gallbladderWe read with interest the 5-year review of outcome by Burgess et al. (February 1991 JRSM, p 84). The authors remind us of the dismal results of treatment of this uncommon disease. Publications concerning this neoplasm are few and it is likely that surgeons confronted with such a case would look to the above article for management guidance.The authors state 'There is probably a place for routine adjuvant local radiotherapy in addition to surgery'. The statement is referenced but unfortunately, perhaps due to a typographical error, it is not printed at the end of the article with the other citations.We do not think that routine postoperative radiotherapy for invasive or in-situ carcinoma of the gallbladder represents a statement of the conventional wisdom within the radiotherapeutic community. It would be useful if the authors could expand upon their statement and produce the missing reference.
