What are the symptoms of gallbladder cancer spreading

Knowing the common sense of gallbladder cancer will help the recovery of patients with gallbladder cancer. In order to receive treatment earlier, you should pay attention to the symptoms in your life. So, what are the symptoms of gallbladder cancer? Let's take a look at the detailed introduction of experts. In life, you should be attentive and discover the existence of the disease as early as possible.

Modern medical research has confirmed that the occurrence of gallbladder cancer is related to cholelithiasis: the gallbladder is stimulated by stones in the gallbladder for a long time, causing repeated attacks of chronic cholecystitis. The inflammation causes atrophy of the gallbladder mucosal fibers, infiltration of lymphocytes and monocytes, and degeneration of tissue cells. The degenerated tissue is prone to cancer.

More importantly, the early symptoms of gallbladder cancer are easily ignored, and the misdiagnosis rate is as high as 60~80%. When clinically diagnosed, the cancer has usually developed to the middle and late stages, and the surgical prognosis is poor, with a 5-year survival rate of less than 5%.

Therefore, middle-aged and elderly people with calculous cholecystitis should be good at discovering the "clues" of gallbladder cancer at an early stage, such as the sudden onset of persistent dull pain in the right upper abdomen, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, low-grade fever, accompanied by progressive jaundice, and a hard, non-tender mass that can be felt in the right upper abdomen. This should arouse vigilance. Elderly patients should also be vigilant if they often have clinical manifestations similar to "acute cholecystitis" such as paroxysmal biliary colic. Especially for middle-aged and elderly women with calculous cholecystitis, if the disease is prolonged and recurrent, gallbladder cancer should be considered at this time. This is a "warning" put forward by hepatobiliary disease researchers at Kochi Medical University in Japan.

The above introduction has brought good news to many people. Experts remind that gallbladder cancer affects many people and is difficult to treat. Gallbladder cancer is a difficult and complicated disease. The harm of gallbladder cancer is extremely great. If it is not treated in time, it will endanger life. Patients with gallbladder cancer should pay attention to choosing scientific treatment methods.
