 ==Overview==
+Gallbladder cancer may be caused by gallstones, gallbladder polyps, infections, Primary sclerosing cholangitis etc.
 ==Causes==
-There are some factors that may increase the chance of acquiring gallbladder cancer. These risk factors include:
-*[[Gallstones]]: This is the most common risk factor for gallbladder cancer. It is estimated that about 75% and 90% of people with gallbladder cancer have a history of gallstones. Gallstones are the most common digestive disease in the United States, but only a small proportion of people develop gallbladder cancer.

+Gallbladder cancer may be caused by
+* Gallstone disease
+* Porcelain gallbladder
-*[[Gallbladder polyps]]: Gallbladder polyp is caused by small [[gallstones]] or [[cholecystitis]]. Because gallbladder polyps larger than 10 millimeters are likely to develop into cancer, surgeons often recommend removing the gallbladder.
+* Gallbladder polyps
+* Primary sclerosing cholangitis
-*Family history. People with family history of gallbladder cancer have a higher probability of developing gallbladder cancer.
+* Chronic infection
+* Congenital biliary cysts
-*Smoking: Smoking may increase the risk of gallbladder cancer.
+* Medications like oral contraceptive pills,methyldopa and isoniazid
+* Carcinogen exposure like oil, paper, chemical, shoe, textile, and cellulose acetate fiber manufacturing industries and radon
+* Obesity
+* Elevated blood sugar
