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 gallbladder cancer susceptibility have so far been insufficient to confirm any association[2]
- Alcohol: Alcohol drinking is a risk factor of gallbladder cancer[3] [4]
