Prevention and treatment methods for gallbladder cancer

Since primary gallbladder cancer is relatively rare in clinical practice, it has not attracted people's attention for a long time. Therefore, the prevention of gallbladder cancer is very important. So, what are the prevention and treatment methods for gallbladder cancer? The following is an introduction to the prevention and treatment methods of gallbladder cancer.

Gallbladder cancer is a type of malignant tumor that has a relatively poor treatment effect, so prevention of gallbladder cancer is the most critical. Cholecystectomy is the most effective and only preventive measure for gallbladder cancer. Generally speaking, there are four types of patients: those who often have cholecystitis, those with stones larger than 2.5 cm, those with obvious or irregular thickening of the gallbladder wall, and those with gallbladders full of stones.

If gallbladder cancer is not prevented in time, how should it be treated? Gallbladder cancer resection surgery is a relatively easy operation to complete when there is no acute inflammation, and most of the operations can be completed using laparoscopic technology, with little pain and quick recovery. An analgesic pump can also be used after the operation to reduce the pain caused by the operation.

According to current research reports, 70% of gallbladder cancer prevention is related to the presence of gallstones; the incidence of gallbladder cancer combined with gallstones is 13.7 times that of gallbladder cancer without stones, and the incidence of stones with a diameter of 3 cm is 10 times that of stones with a diameter of 1 cm. This shows that the prevention of gallbladder cancer is the result of the combined effects of long-term physical stimulation of gallstones, chronic inflammation of the mucosa, and carcinogens in the products of bacterial infection.
