Overview
Risk factors
- Obesity increases the risk for gallbladder cancer
- Chronic cholecystitis and cholelithiasis
- Chronic typhoid infection of gallbladder. Chronic salmonella typhi carriers have 3 to 200 times higher risk of gallbladder cancer than non-carriers and 1–6% lifetime risk of development of cancer[1]
- Various single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been shown to be associated with gallbladder cancer. However, existing genetic studies in GBC susceptibility have so far been insufficient to confirm any association[2]
- Alcohol: Alcohol drinking is a risk factor of gallbladder canc"[3] [4]
