Gallbladder Cancer
Gallbladder cancer, also known as biliary tract cancer, is a rare type of cancer that affects the gallbladder, a small organ located in the abdomen that produces bile to help with digestion. The gallbladder is typically not removed during a routine cancer screening, as it is not considered a high-risk area for cancer. However, if someone does have gallbladder cancer, it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. The most common form of gallbladder cancer is ductal adenocarcinoma, which involves the lining of the gallbladder becoming cancerous. This type of cancer is usually treated with surgery, chemotherapy, or a combination of both. It is important to follow any treatment plan carefully and to follow up with a healthcare provider regularly to ensure that the cancer is responding to treatment and to identify any potential side effects. If you are concerned about gallbladder cancer or have been diagnosed with this condition, it is important to discuss your treatment options with a healthcare provider to determine the best course of action.
