Overview
Definite cause of the gallbladder cancer is not determined, but several risk factors are involved in this cancer, such as gallstones, gallbladder polyps, infections, and Primary sclerosing cholangitis.
Causes
Common Causes
Common causes of gallbladder cancer may include:[1][2][3]
- Gallstone disease
- Porcelain gallbladder
- Gallbladder polyps
- Primary sclerosing cholangitis
- Chronic infection
- Congenital biliary cysts
- Medications such as, oral contraceptive pills, methyldopa, and isoniazid
- Occupational exposure:
- Carcinogen exposure such as workers in oil, paper, chemical, shoe, textile, and cellulose acetate fiber manufacturing industries
- Cigarette smokers
- Aflatoxin
- Obesity
Less Common Causes
Less common causes of gallbladder cancer include:
- Elevated blood sugar
- Soybeans
- Radon exposure
