Tumor experts explain the symptoms of gallbladder cancer

What are the symptoms of gallbladder cancer? I believe that many patients do not understand the symptoms of gallbladder cancer very well, and even many patients miss the best time for treatment because of this. Therefore, it is very necessary for patients to understand the symptoms of gallbladder cancer .

The main symptoms of gallbladder cancer are:

1. Jaundice: Jaundice often occurs in the late stage of the disease, accounting for more than 36.5%. It is caused by cancer tissue invading the bile duct and causing malignant obstruction. It is accompanied by weight loss, fatigue, and even cachexia. The skin and mucous membranes are jaundiced and itchy. It is difficult to treat.

2. Fever: 25.9% of patients developed fever.

3. Right upper abdominal mass: A relatively smooth and enlarged gallbladder can be felt in the right upper abdomen. When there is no adhesion to the surrounding tissues, it is highly mobile. When there is adhesion to the surrounding tissues, several lumps may be felt, and sometimes an enlarged liver and duodenal obstruction mass may be felt.

4. Right upper abdominal pain: This symptom accounts for 84%. Since gallbladder cancer often coexists with gallstone inflammation, the nature of the pain is similar to that of calculous cholecystitis. It starts with discomfort in the right upper abdomen, followed by persistent dull pain or dull pain, sometimes accompanied by paroxysmal severe pain and radiating to the right shoulder.

5. Gastrointestinal symptoms: The vast majority (90%) experience indigestion, aversion to greasy food, belching, and decreased appetite. This is due to the gallbladder's inability to digest fat.
