Summary
This phase III trial studies how well chemotherapy before and after surgery works in treating
participants with gallbladder cancer that can be removed by surgery. Drugs used in
chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, gemcitabine, and capecitabine, work in different ways to
stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing,
or by stopping them from spreading. Giving chemotherapy before and after surgery may kill
more tumor cells.
