Gallbladder Cancer

Gallbladder cancer is a rare type of cancer that occurs in the gallbladder, a small organ located under the liver that helps digest fats. It's part of the gastrointestinal system, which includes the stomach and intestines. Symptoms may include abdominal pain, jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), and unexplained weight loss. Because it often goes undetected until advanced stages, treatment options like surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation may be limited. Risk factors include gallstones, chronic inflammation, and certain genetic conditions. Early detection is challenging, making awareness of symptoms important for timely medical consultation.
