Gall Bladdar Cancer treatment



The gallbladder is a tiny, pear-shaped organ present on the right side of the abdomen, right below the liver. Gallbladder cancer is cancer that originates in the gallbladder. This cancer is quite uncommon. The gallbladder is highly curable when diagnosed at an early stage, however as the gallbladder is diagnosed at quite a later stage, therefore, its prognosis is very poor. One can identify the occurrence of this cancer with symptoms like abdominal pain, abdominal bloating, nausea, fever, losing weight rapidly, and yellowing of the skin and the whites of the eyes. Causes of gallbladder cancer are mostly idiopathic or sometimes may be due to genetic predisposition. One can either go for cholecystectomy to remove the gallbladder or might need removal of gallbladder along with the portion of the liver if cancer has spread to the other parts of the adjacent organs. Dr.Rudra Prasad Acharya is the accomplished surgeon when it comes to the best oncologist in Delhi/NCR in performing Radical Nephrectomy for GB cancers. Low of patients come for completion of radical procedure in a diagnosed case of GB cancer detected during laparoscopic cholecystectomy

The Best Treatment For Curing The Cancer

Obviously, surgery is the main treatment which is the best chance of curing this cancer. Generally, doctors divide the gallbladder cancers into two types depending on treatment. They are:
1. Resectable Cancers
This can be removed completely through surgery as it is restricted in one place.This is potentially curative surgery.

Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
This is the most effective way to remove the gallbladder in which the surgeon makes small incision or holes in your abdomen to insert the thin flexible tube and view the interior of your body through a video camera. There may be a chance that a part of cancer is left undetected as it is just a keyhole surgery. This minimizes the effect of the scar as compared to open surgery. But open surgery has a greater chance to fade away the cancerous cells completely.

Radical Gall Bladder Resection
This involves removal of a wedge-shaped section of liver near your gallbladder, the common bile duct, the lymph nodes, and nearby blood vessels.

2. Unresectable Cancers
These types have spread too far and are too difficult to remove by surgery.

Palliative Surgery
This is done to relieve the symptoms such as pain or to treat complications such as a blockage in the bile duct. However, it is not going to cure your cancer permanently but it may provide better relief and ease out your pain.

Radiation Therapy
This procedure uses high energy x rays to destroy the cancer cells. Sometimes radiation therapy can be used before the surgery to shrink the size of cells or after surgery to destroy remaining cells. It may be used during the surgery to directly target the affected area and to save the healthy organs from the effects of radiation.

Chemotherapy
This method involves the use of drugs to destroy the cells by halting the cells to grow and divide. The treatment is given for a specific period of time comprising of a certain number of cycles. Either a single drug or combination of drugs is used to treat the condition. The treatment provokes some side effects when it is ongoing but eventually disappear once the treatment is done.
