Gallbladder cancer is quite common in India. Especially among the women in northern parts of the country, the incidence rate of the disease is high. It is an aggressive disease that is asymptomatic in the earlier stages, thus, leading to poor clinical outcomes. When talking about the GBC, it is essential to raise awareness among the general population. So, doctor Jay believes that knowing the symptoms of the disease is necessary.
WHAT ARE THE SIGNS OF GALLBLADDER CANCER?
Although early stages of gall bladder cancer may not show any signs, a few symptoms of the disease can be:
- Nausea and tiredness
- An ache in the right side of the tummy
- Sharp pain in the abdomen
- Yellowing of the eyes and skin (jaundice)
- Loss of appetite
- Unintentional weight loss in the past six months
- Fever with occasional shivers
- Existence of a lump in the stomach.
WHAT DOES DOCTOR JAY SAY ABOUT GALL BLADDER CANCER SYMPTOMS?
“Remember that if you have gall stones, inflammation due to bile duct stones, irritable bowel syndrome, or any other problems of the gastrointestinal tract, you may notice the similar symptoms regularly. However, the existence of these symptoms does not confirm cancer. Get a few diagnostic tests done for accurate diagnosis.
- Blood tests.
- Ultrasound scan, endoscopy, CT scan, PET scan, MRI scan, etc.
- Biopsy to collect cell samples from the gallbladder.
The number of tests will vary depending on your symptoms and overall health. Once you receive your reports, Dr. Jay Chokshi recommends a consultation so that he can explain to the patient everything in detail and suggest a treatment modality best suited to the situation. “Getting a gall bladder cancer diagnosis can be nerve-wracking, but having an expert surgical gastroenterologist lay out the details can be calming and make you ready for the surgery ahead,” says Dr. Jay.
WHAT IS THE SURGERY FOR GALLBLADDER CANCER?
If cancer is limited to gall bladder, Dr. Jay Chokshi may perform a curative cholecystectomy to remove the organ. It is also an effective treatment for gall stones.
However, if cancer has spread beyond the gallbladder, you may need an extensive surgery called extended or radical cholecystectomy. It includes surgical removal of the gallbladder, a section of the liver, and surrounding lymph nodes to prevent the spread of the disease. In complicated cases, your GI surgeon may remove a large part of the liver, common bile duct, pancreas, and nearby organs.
If the cancer is unresectable and has spread too far, palliative treatment may become necessary. It can change depending on the symptoms faced by the patient. In certain situations, palliative medicines can become the only way to help the patient and alleviate his pain.
