Gallbladder Cancer

Gallbladder cancer is a rare type of cancer that starts in the tissues of the gallbladder. It is difficult to detect and diagnose early, and symptoms may not appear until later stages. Treatment options include surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, and early detection is crucial for a better chance of survival. Risk factors for gallbladder cancer include being female and having Mexican American, Latin American, or Native American descent. Eating a healthy diet, maintaining a healthy weight, and regular exercise can help reduce the risk of developing gallbladder cancer.
