The gallbladder is a small, pear-shaped organ located under the liver. It stores bile, a fluid made in the liver that helps the body break down fat.</p><p>Most people with gallbladder cancer have or have had another gallbladder condition called gallstones. Gallstones are small stones that form inside the gallbladder and can irritate its inner lining.</p><p><b>What are the symptoms of gallbladder cancer?</b> Early on, gallbladder cancer might not cause any symptoms. In many cases, gallbladder cancer is found unexpectedly when:</p><ul><li><p>A doctor removes the gallbladder to treat symptoms thought to be caused by gallstones. (Gallstones can cause symptoms similar to those of gallbladder cancer.)</p></li><li><p>A doctor does imaging tests of the belly for another reason.

Imaging tests can include an ultrasound, CT scan, or MRI scan.</p><p><b>What is cancer staging?</b> Cancer staging is the process doctors use to find out if a cancer has spread beyond the original tissue layer where it began and, if so, how far it has spread.</p><p>The right treatment for you depends a lot on the stage of your gallbladder cancer and any other medical issues you might have.</p><p><b>How is gallbladder cancer treated?</b> Gallbladder cancer is usually treated with one or more of the following:</p><ul><li><p>Surgery</p></li><li><p>Chemotherapy – Medicines that kill cancer cells or stop them from growing</p></li><li><p>Radiation therapy – Radiation that kills cancer cells</p></li></ul><p>Gallbladder cancer can sometimes be cured with treatment, especially if it’s found early. However, it is often not found at an early stage.
