Where is the main site of gallbladder cancer

Gallbladder cancer is one of the common malignant tumors in the biliary system. Among the malignant tumors of the gallbladder, gallbladder cancer ranks first. Others include sarcoma, carcinoid, primary malignant melanoma, giant cell adenocarcinoma, etc. Since the latter are rare, this chapter mainly discusses primary gallbladder cancer. Women are 2 to 4 times more likely to be diagnosed than men. It is more common in people aged 50 to 70. Gallbladder cancer mainly manifests in the abdomen.

Patients with gallstones and obvious symptoms or recurrent cholecystitis, patients with gallstones with large particles and small diameter that are easy to fall into the common bile duct and cause cholangitis and pancreatitis, patients with gallstones larger than 3 cm in diameter, and patients with no symptoms but at risk of gallbladder cancer should all receive surgical treatment. Other cases should generally be treated conservatively and closely observed.
Gallbladder polyps Gallbladder polyps are abnormal tissues protruding from the surface of the gallbladder tissue. Polyps can be large or small, and there may be only one or several. Polyps are divided into two categories, namely non-neoplastic polyps such as cholesterol polyps and inflammatory polyps, and neoplastic polypoid changes such as adenomas and adenocarcinomas. Preventive measures include regular B-ultrasound dynamic observation and changing bad eating habits, such as quitting drinking and eating less barbecue, high-fat and high-calorie foods.
