In this real-world context, the majority of patients with GBC were diagnosed at a late stage and were not referred to a cancer center. For those with early-stage GBC, living in an urban area and having stage III disease were linked to worse outcomes. Across all stages of GBC, stage IV disease, older age, absence of surgery, lack of referral to a cancer center, and a high neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio were associated with poorer survival.
