| | 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 |
| | Gallbladder cancer is often misdiagnosed because it mimics other more common conditions, such as gallstones, cholecystitis, and pancreatitis. | | | Larger gallstones are associated with a higher chance of developing gallbladder cancer. | | | Current chemotherapy or radiation therapy cannot cure gallbladder cancer, but they may offer some benefit in certain patients. |

| | Gallbladder cancer |
| | Although most people with gallbladder cancer also have gallstones, the vast majority of people with gallstones never develop gallbladder cancer. | | | Although the exact cause of gallbladder and bile duct cancers isn't clear, researchers believe that DNA in the cells of your biliary tract may be damaged by toxins that are routinely metabolized by your liver. | | | Diagnosing gallbladder cancer earlier than this is difficult because the gallbladder is hidden behind the liver and so is relatively inaccessible, because signs and symptoms don't develop until late in the disease, and because when symptoms do appear, they can easily be mistaken for those of many other conditions. |

| | Gallbladder Cancer |
| | People don't think about their gallbladder unless it is diseased with gallstones, or it develops cancer. | | | There has been much research in the past decade on treating gallbladder and other biliary tract cancers. | | | In the past gallbladder cancer was almost always fatal, since it tended to be advanced when first be diagnosed and effective treatments were not available. |

| | Gallstones and Gallbladder Disease |
| | The primary advantages of surgical removal of the gallbladder over nonsurgical treatment are both the elimination of gallstones and also the prevention of gallbladder cancer. | | | This procedure uses a needle to withdraw (aspirate) fluid from the gallbladder. | | | The dye is absorbed by the intestine, excreted by the liver, and concentrated in the gallbladder. |

| | Gallbladder Cancer |
| | Gallbladder cancer is rare but it is the most common type of malignancy of the bile tract. | | | During a physical exam, your health care provider may be able to feel that you have a large liver and gallbladder. | | | If the cancer has metastasized (spread), your chances of recovery are far less. |

| | Gallbladder removal |
| | Gallbladder removal is surgery to remove the gallbladder if it is inflamed or obstructed, if gallstones are causing pancreatitis, or if cancer is suspected. | | | Gallbladder removal (cholecystectomy) is done while the patient is under general anesthesia, unconscious and pain-free. | | | Gallbladder removal is usually done to treat the following conditions: |

| | Pancreatic Cancer |
| | Cancer of the pancreas is difficult to diagnose because the organ is surrounded and hidden by other organs, including the stomach, small intestine, bile duct, gallbladder, liver and spleen. | | | When a cancer spreads from its origination to other areas of the body it is still referred to by its point of origin. | | | Cancer can arise in many sites and behaves differently depending on its organ of origin. |

| | Liver cancer |
| | Because the liver is close to a number of significant organs — including the pancreas, gallbladder, stomach, colon, breasts and lungs — and because the liver is richly supplied with blood, it's especially vulnerable to metastatic tumors. | | | This means the cancer has returned to your liver or to another part of your body after being treated. | | | Standard therapies for adult liver cancer primarily include surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy. |

| | Alterations in the BRCA2 gene have also been associated with an increased risk of lymphoma, melanoma, and cancers of the pancreas, gallbladder, bile duct, and stomach in some men and women. | | | Women with an inherited alteration in one of these genes have an increased risk of developing these cancers at a young age (before menopause), and often have multiple close family members with the disease. | | | Inherited alterations in the genes called BRCA1 and BRCA2 (short for breast cancer 1 and breast cancer 2) are involved in many cases of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer. |

| | A previous study suggested that carriers of mutant BRCA2 genes are at increased risk of cancer of the prostate, pancreas, gallbladder, bile duct and stomach, as well as malignant melanoma, breast cancer and ovarian cancers (Journal of the National Cancer Institute, vol 91 p 1310). | | | Using information from known mutated-BRCA2 carriers in these families, the researchers studied the retrospective incidence of cancers among both male and female family members with a 50% chance of being a carrier amounting to 1811 people. | | | Christi van Asperen and her colleagues at the Centre for Human and Clinical Genetics at Leiden University in The Netherlands speculated that estimates of cancer risk at other sites in the body may differ in mutated-BRCA2 carriers with less striking, though still present, family histories of cancer. |
