| | Gallbladder Cancer |
| | Chemotherapy for cancer of the gallbladder is usually put into the body by a needle inserted into a vein. | | | The chance of recovery (prognosis) and choice of treatment depend on the stage of cancer (whether it is just in the gallbladder or has spread to other places) and on the patient's general health. | | | Radiation for gallbladder cancer usually comes from a machine outside the body (external-beam radiation therapy). |

| | Gallbladder cancer |

| | Ultrasound (see Ultrasonics) treatment to shatter the stones also eliminates the need for surgery in some cases. | | | Another common disorder of the gallbladder is cholecystitis, or inflammation of the organ, which is believed to be a result of the presence of highly concentrated bile. | | | The gallbladder, when functioning normally, releases bile through the biliary ducts into the duodenum to aid digestion by promoting peristalsis and absorption, preventing putrefaction, and emulsifying fat. |
