Summary
Gallbladder cancer is a rare but aggressive disease. This document explains its risk factors, clinical features, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis.
Risk Factors
Gallbladder cancer affects women more than men. Risk increases with age, gallstones, chronic inflammation, and certain ethnicities. Obesity, high energy intake, and inflammatory bowel disease also play a role.
Clinical Features
Patients are often elderly women with abdominal pain, nausea, weight loss, and jaundice. Sometimes cancer is found during gallbladder removal surgery.
Diagnosis
Physical examination may reveal a mass. Imaging techniques like ultrasound, CT, MRI, and angiography help evaluate the cancer. Blood tests show signs of jaundice.
Treatment
Surgery is the main treatment. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy have limited effectiveness. Prognosis depends on the cancer stage and the extent of surgery.
