2. Pain in the right upper abdomen : Most of the symptoms of gallbladder cancer include indigestion, aversion to greasy food, belching, and decreased appetite.

It is mostly caused by cancer tissue invading the bile duct and causing malignant obstruction. It is accompanied by weight loss, fatigue, and even cachexia.
