 ==Overview==
-'''Gallbladder cancer''' is a relatively uncommon [[cancer]].  If it is diagnosed early enough, it can be cured by removing the [[gallbladder]].  Most often it is found after [[symptoms]] such as [[abdominal]] pain and [[jaundice]] occur, and it has spread to other [[Organ (anatomy)|organ]]s such as the [[liver]].
+===Classification===
-It is a rare cancer that is still being studied and thought to be related to gallstones building up, which also can lead to [[calcium|calcification]] of the gallbladder, a condition known as [[Porcelain gallbladder]].  Porcelain gallbladder is also rare and most people with porcelain gallbladder also have gallbladder cancer.  The connection is uncertain.  The outlook is poor for recovery if the cancer is found after symptoms have started to occur.
