What Is Gall Bladder Cancer?
Gall bladder cancer originates in the tissues of the gall bladder, a small organ beneath the liver that stores bile. It’s a relatively rare but aggressive type of cancer, often diagnosed at advanced stages due to its asymptomatic nature in the early stages. Gall bladder cancer typically starts in the innermost layer of the gall bladder and can spread to nearby organs.
Causes and Risk Factors:
- Gallstones: Long-standing gallstones increase the risk of developing gall bladder cancer.
- Chronic Inflammation: Conditions like chronic gall bladder inflammation may elevate the risk.
- Genetic Predisposition: Inherited conditions or family history might contribute.
