Gallbladder cancer is a malignant growth that originates in the gallbladder, often associated with gallstones, chronic inflammation, or certain genetic factors. Early detection is crucial, as symptoms may be subtle initially. India provides advanced oncology care, including surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted therapy, and palliative care for gallbladder cancer patients.
Adenocarcinoma – Most common type
Squamous cell carcinoma – Rare
Small cell carcinoma – Aggressive and rare
