Diet and health care for gallbladder cancer

In the early stage of gallbladder cancer, there are no specific and typical symptoms, making diagnosis difficult and treatment ineffective. The main symptoms of advanced gallbladder cancer are right upper abdominal pain, jaundice, a hard mass in the right upper abdomen, and weight loss. Let's take a look at some health care knowledge about gallbladder cancer.

The presence of jaundice indicates that there is lymph node metastasis and extrahepatic bile duct obstruction, and the tumor cannot be surgically removed; combined with stone obstruction, jaundice may also occur. Gallbladder cancer directly spreads to the stomach and duodenum, which can cause gastric pyloric obstruction. Gallbladder cancer metastasizes early and widely, and the most common metastasis is to the liver.

Since patients with gallbladder cancer are prone to symptoms such as loss of appetite, indigestion, and fear of greasy food during the course of the disease, the following dietary care should be taken:

First, the dietary principles suitable for patients with gallbladder cancer are:

(1) It is advisable to eat more foods that have anti-biliary and gallbladder cancer effects: shark fin, chicken gizzard, buckwheat, coix seed, tofu dregs, and Hericium erinaceus.
