What is Gallbladder cancer 
?
Gallbladder cancer 
is a relatively uncommon cancer. It has peculiar geographical distribution being common in central and South
 
America, central and Eastern Europe, Japan and northern India; it isalso common in certain ethnic groups e.g. Native American Indiansand Hispanics. If it is diagnosed early enough, it can be cured byremoving the gallbladder, part of liver and lymph nodes.
What are the types of gallbladder cancer?
The majority of these cancers are "adenocarcinomas", with subtypessuch as papillary, nodular, and tubular, depending on the appearanceof the tumor cells under the microscope. Less common subtypesinclude: squamous cell, signet ring cell, and adenosquamous(adenoacanthoma).
Who gets gallbladder cancer?
Gallbladder cancer is most often seen in older patients, with a medianage at diagnosis of 62-66 years. It occurs more often in females, witha female-to-male ratio of about 3:1. The highest rates of gallbladder cancer occur among US Native Americans, as well as in Mexico,South America, Israel, and China. In fact, Israel has the highestworldwide incidence, with 7.5 cases per 100,000 men and 13.8 casesper 100,000 women. Gallbladder cancer is the fifth most common GIcancer in the United States. However, it is the most common GImalignancy in Mexican Americans and Southwest Native Americans.Low rates are seen in India, Nigeria, and Singapore.

Approximately 70-90 percentof people with gallbladder cancer have gallstones. However, theopposite is not true, as most people with gallstones do not developgallbladder cancers, and it is unclear how big of a risk gallstonespose. It has been suggested that infection with salmonella may alsoincrease the risk of gallbladder cancers.
 
What are the signs and symptoms of gallbladder cancer?
Your gallbladder is a pear-shaped organ under your liver. It storesbile, a fluid made by your liver to digest fat. As your stomach andintestines digest food, your gallbladder releases bile through a tubecalled the common bile duct. The duct connects your gallbladder andliver to your small intestine.Cancer of the gallbladder is rare. It is more common in women andNative Americans. Symptoms include

Gall bladder cancer surgeryThe most common and most effective treatment is surgicalremoval of the gallbladder (cholecystectomy) with part of liver and lymph node dissection. However, with gallbladder cancer's extremely poor prognosis, most patients will dieby one year following the surgery.
