Gallbladder Cancer
Gallbladder cancer needs early assessment because symptoms may overlap with gallstone disease.
Understanding Gallbladder Cancer
Gallbladder cancer can be difficult to detect early and may first present during evaluation for abdominal pain or jaundice.
At CI(WIA), treatment decisions depend on resectability, spread, and overall liver and digestive function.
Coordinated care is essential because surgery, systemic therapy, and symptom relief may all be required at different stages.
