Carcinoma Gallbladder
Gallbladder cancer is a cancer that starts in the gallbladder, most often in people with a long history of gallstones. It is frequently found late because early symptoms — mild abdominal discomfort, indigestion — closely resemble ordinary gallstone disease.
Symptoms
Dr. Golam Mahmud Rayhan's Approach
Diagnosis by ultrasound, CT/MRI, and tumour markers. Treatment depends on the stage — from extended (radical) cholecystectomy with removal of nearby lymph nodes and part of the liver, to combined surgery with chemotherapy for more advanced disease.
Recovery
Recovery time depends on the extent of surgery — typically 5-10 days in hospital for extended resections, followed by staged recovery and, where needed, adjuvant chemotherapy.
