Gallbladder Cancer

Gallbladder Cancer: A Guide for Patients

Your Health, Our Priority – Excellence in Care and Treatment

What is Gallbladder Cancer?

Gallbladder cancer is a rare malignancy that begins in the gallbladder, a small organ beneath the liver responsible for storing bile. It is often asymptomatic in its early stages, making early diagnosis challenging. Common symptoms may include:

• Abdominal pain (upper right side)

• Jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes)

• Nausea or vomiting

• Unexplained weight loss

Diagnosis and Treatment Options

Advanced Diagnostic Techniques

• Imaging: MRI, CT scans, and ultrasounds provide detailed views of the gallbladder and surrounding areas.

• Endoscopic Procedures: ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography) is used to assess bile duct involvement.

• Biopsy: A definitive diagnosis is achieved through tissue sampling.

Comprehensive Treatment Approaches

1. Surgery:

   • Minimally Invasive Robotic Surgery:
     Our state-of-the-art robotic systems enable precise removal of tumors with smaller incisions, reduced pain, and quicker recovery times.

     • Enhanced visualization for complex procedures

     • Lower risk of complications

     • Faster return to daily activities

2. Oncologic Therapies:

   • Chemotherapy: Used to shrink tumors or eliminate residual cancer cells post-surgery.

   • Radiation Therapy: Targets and destroys cancer cells in localized areas.

3. Targeted Therapy: Advanced medications designed to attack cancer-specific cells without affecting healthy tissue.
