Is gallbladder cancer hereditary?

Is it likely that gallbladder cancer is hereditary? Gallbladder cancer is a bile duct tumor of unknown etiology, accounting for about 0.36% to 1.2% of all cancers and 20% of digestive system adenocarcinomas. Currently, the incidence of gallbladder cancer is increasing year by year and is no longer a rare tumor. The early symptoms of gallbladder cancer are atypical and difficult to detect. It is highly malignant and has the characteristics of rapid growth and early metastasis.

Gallbladder cancer is transformed from normal cancer cells. The division of cancer cells is like a wild horse that is "unbridled" and difficult to control. When the number of cancer cells in the human body exceeds 1 million, some symptoms of cancer will occur. So how do normal cancer cells mutate into cancer cells? For example, viruses, radiation, and chemicals act on the DNA in cancer cells, causing changes in its structure or function, thereby leading to changes in metabolism. Changes in cancer cell proliferation become cancer cells. DNA is the basic substance of heredity. Once DNA changes, it will be passed on to the next generation. In this sense, gallbladder cancer is related to heredity.
