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[1][2][3]
Definite cause of the gallbladder cancer is not determined, but several risk factors are involved in this cancer:
- 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; also, radon exposure in miners can be a risk factor.
- Cigarette smokers
- Aflatoxin, soybeans, and peanuts
- Obesity
- Elevated blood sugar
