Gallbladder cancer is a rare disease in which malignant (cancer) cells are found in the tissues of the gallbladder. The gallbladder is a pear-shaped organ that lies just under the liver in the upper abdomen. The gallbladder stores bile, a fluid made by the liver to digest fat. When food is being broken down in the stomach and intestines, bile is released from the gallbladder through a tube called the common bile duct, which connects the gallbladder and liver to the first part of the small intestine. Being female can increase the risk of developing gallbladder cancer. Anything that increases your chance of getting a disease is called a risk factor. Risk factors for gallbladder cancer include being female and being Native American. Possible signs of gallbladder cancer include jaundice, pain, and fever. These and other symptoms may be caused by gallbladder cancer. Other conditions may cause the same symptoms. A doctor should be consulted if any of the following problems occur: jaundice (yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes); pain above the stomach; fever; nausea and vomiting; bloating; lumps in the abdomen. Gallbladder cancer is difficult to detect (find) and diagnose early.
