Commonly found in Central and South America, Central and Eastern Europe, Japan and Northern India Gall Bladder Cancer is a very unusual and uncommon form of cancer. A small pouch looking shape beneath the liver, the gallbladder, the primary function of the gall bladder is to squeeze the stored bile juice in the small intestine via a series of ducts also known as Ducts. Gall Bladder Cancer is referred to as the building up of gallstones that could also lead to calcification. In 2017 alone, 11,740 cases of Gal Bladder Cancer and other biliary cancers has been reported according to an estimate by The American Cancer Society. The wall of the Gall Bladder is made of three primary tissues:
• Muscularis is known as the middle layer of the smooth muscle
• Mucosa is the innermost layer and protects the wall of the gallbladder.
• And lastly the Serosa, which is the outer layer.
Gallbladder in its primary stages originates in the inner layer and gradually spreads to the outer layer as it grows. The occurrence of this cancer takes place when the healthy cells of the gall bladder undergo change and grow uncontrollably, forming a mass that comes to be known as a tumor. There can be two kinds of tumor namely a cancerous one or a benign one. A cancerous tumor is malignant and also possesses the risk of gradually spreading to the other parts of the body. The incident of gallbladder is 66% more in women than men.
