Gall bladder cancer

Gallbladder cancer is a malignant tumor that grows from squamous or glandular epithelium cells. The malignant nature of the disease is caused by the atypical nature of cancer cells, which have the ability to quickly and uncontrollably grow, causing disturbances in the outflow of bile, sprouting into the structures surrounding the gallbladder, and spreading to distant organs by the lymphogenous route. Timely diagnosis of gallbladder cancer has important prognostic value, however, at the advanced stages of the disease, specialists at the Herzliya Medical Center hospital manage to provide effective assistance to patients.

Gallbladder Cancer Symptoms

Signs of the disease are caused primarily by early occurring violations of the normal outflow of bile. The main symptoms of gallbladder cancer requiring immediate medical attention are:

• Increasing abdominal pain, especially in the right hypochondrium. The presence of a chronic inflammatory process or cholelithiasis can mask the onset of the development of a malignant neoplasm, complicating its early diagnosis;
• Dyspeptic disorders — nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, which are progressive in nature;
• Periodically occurring fever, often accompanied by chills;
• A sharp causeless weight loss;
• Signs of a violation of the outflow of bile are yellowness of the skin and sclera of the eyes, itchy skin, discoloration of feces and dark color of urine. All these are signs of so-called obstructive jaundice caused by a tumor, which makes it difficult for bile to exit the gallbladder.

Since the initial symptoms of gallbladder cancer are not strictly specific, any suspicion of a tumor requires a detailed differential diagnosis.
