What is Gallbladder Cancer?
However, if for example the reason is a small irritation of the gallbladder, the signs fade away and finally disappear with no recommended therapy. However in situation of seriously enlarged gallbladder, the pain sensation could be intolerable and it is not likely to diminish for very long amounts of time and is also frequently combined with chills as well as a fever.

Gallbladder cancer is a rare disease in which malignant (cancer) cells are found in the tissues of the gallbladder. The gallbladder is a pear-shaped organ that lies just under the liver in the upper abdomen. The gallbladder stores bile, a fluid made by the liver to digest fat. When food is being broken down in the stomach and intestines, bile is released from the gallbladder through a tube called the common bile duct, which connects the gallbladder and liver to the first part of the small intestine. The wall of the gallbladder has 3 main layers of tissue: • Mucosal (innermost) layer • Muscularis (middle, muscle) layer • Serosal (outer) layer Between these layers is supporting connective tissue. Primary gallbladder cancer starts in the innermost layer and spreads through the outer layers as it grows.
