Description and Extensions

Description
NCI2016_NCI-GLOSS_1602D:Cancer that forms in tissues of the gallbladder. The gallbladder is a pear-shaped organ below the liver that collects and stores bile (a fluid made by the liver to digest fat). Gallbladder cancer begins in the innermost layer of tissue and spreads through the outer layers as it grows.|NCI2016_02D:A malignant tumor arising from the epithelium of the gallbladder. It is usually associated with the presence of gallstones. Clinical symptoms are not specific and usually present late in the course. Morphologically, most gallbladder carcinomas are adenocarcinomas; squamous cell carcinomas, adenosquamous carcinomas, signet ring carcinomas, and undifferentiated carcinomas can also occur.|MEDLINEPLUS_20151021:<p>Your gallbladder is a pear-shaped organ under your liver. It stores bile, a fluid made by your liver to digest fat. As your stomach and intestines digest food, your gallbladder releases bile through a tube called the common bile duct. The duct connects your gallbladder and liver to your small intestine. </p> <p> Cancer of the gallbladder is rare. It is more common in women and Native Americans. Symptoms include <ul> <li>Jaundice (yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes)</li> <li>Pain above the stomach</li> <li>Fever</li> <li>Nausea and vomiting</li> <li>Bloating</li> <li>Lumps in the abdomen</li> </ul> </p> <p> It is hard to diagnose gallbladder cancer in its early stages. Sometimes doctors find it when they remove the gallbladder for another reason. But people with gallstones rarely have gallbladder cancer. Because it is often found late, it can be hard to treat gallbladder cancer. Treatment options include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, or a combination. </p> <p >NIH: National Cancer Institute</p>
