What is Gall Bladder Cancer Surgery?
Gallbladder cancer is a rare but aggressive type of cancer that originates in the gallbladder, a small organ located beneath the liver that stores bile. The exact cause of gallbladder cancer is not well understood, but risk factors include chronic inflammation of the gallbladder (cholecystitis), gallstones, certain genetic conditions, and exposure to specific chemicals. Symptoms often do not appear until the cancer is advanced, but they may include abdominal pain, jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), unexplained weight loss, and nausea. Treatment for gallbladder cancer typically involves a multidisciplinary approach, including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. If detected early, surgical removal of the gallbladder (cholecystectomy) may be possible, along with surrounding tissue and lymph nodes. For advanced cases, chemotherapy and radiation therapy may be used to shrink tumors and manage symptoms.
