Cancer of the gallbladder is one of the cancer with a extremely poor diagnosis. Most of the gallbladder cancer patients die within one year of the detection.
Gallbladder cancer shows a large geographic variation and is comparatively common in females and in certain ethnicities . Gallstones are the most common cause of this type of cancer.
After much research, certain risk factors we’re identified :
- Smoking
- Alcohol
- Obesity and certain specific dietary habits
- In women, reproductive history also seem to be the prominent reason.
Keeping close watch on the symptoms, knowing the various risk factors and taking preventive measures can help preventing cancer( to some extent, else their is no specific reason -anyone can develop cancer).
If detected early, cancer can be treated.
Although gallstones are closely associated with high risk, and most people with untreated gallstones over a period of time develop infection and eventually cancer. But there have been cases where gallstone didn't cause any harm and people with gallstone have lead an absolutely healthy life.
Aging is an inevitable process and many factors like genes, lifestyles, diet and environment determine longevity. Cancer generally occurs when body has weak immune system- at old age that's when body is already fighting many disease(s) and surgery is not always the option. People who have cancer in family tree are the most common victims.
Know cancer, Prevent cancer!
