GALLBLADDER CANCER
What
is Gall bladder cancer ?
Bladder cancer is a malignant tumor that
grows in the tissues of the gall bladder , bladder cancer is the starting point
empeduyang cancer is less common , comparison of the growth of gallbladder
cancer in men and women is 1 : 2 , especially women aged 60 and over is more
easily affected by the disease , the prognosis is not good , the possibility of
living a period of 5 years only 3 % .
Possible growth of gallbladder cancer is
lower in comparison with lung cancer and gastric cancer , but the last few
years the growth of gallbladder cancer cases show an increase . Due to the
early stage symptoms are not clear , gallbladder cancer is not easily diagnosed
, while the results of the intermediate stages of therapy and finally stage is
rather poor , over 80 % of gallbladder cancer patients die within one year
below . If it can be diagnosed at an early stage , surgery or therapy on time ,
5-year survival probability of gallbladder cancer patients can achieve more
than 90 % . The examination of gallbladder cancer is very important , the
earlier the disease is found , the initial run of treatment .
Causes of gallbladder cancer is dangerous and
vulnerable groups
Cause really could invite gallbladder
cancer is still unclear , but it may cause the following are the causes of
gallbladder cancer is dangerous .
1 ) Female patients aged 50 and over , or
chronic inflammation of the gallbladder that grows repetitive .
2 ) Gallstones . The possibility of
patients who had gallstones to gallbladder cancer is 38 times that number of
people who do not have gallstones .
3 ) Hardening of the gallbladder .
Gallbladder wall calcification commonly found in women aged 65 years and over ,
is the last stage of the gall bladder inflammation is acute , the percentage
hardening gall bladder tumor that turned into a peak at 22 % .
4 ) gallbladder polyps greater than or
equal to 10 mm , the percentage turn into cancer reached 23 % .
5 ) Like to eat preserved foods , fried
foods, spicy foods and the like can increase the risk of gallbladder cancer
involvement . Smoking , drinking alcohol , high -fat diet high in calories can
serve as a factor supporting the growth of gallbladder cancer .
6 ) The woman beginning her first
menstruation , menopause early age , and that spawned countless number of
pregnant can increase the likelihood of cancer of the gallbladder , may be
related to hormonal changes in pregnant women .
7 ) Youth fat , body weight 20 % - 30 % of
people whose age exceeds the peer can also increase the possibility of the
growth of gallbladder cancer .
Symptoms of gallbladder cancer
1 ) Symptoms of the gastrointestinal tract
: the majority of patients will experience poor digestion , do not like greasy
food , burping , etc. .
2 ) Right upper stomach ache : upper right
abdomen feels uncomfortable, accompanied by ongoing pain , sometimes pain is
noticeably louder , and shoulder pain leads to the right.
3 ) lump in the upper right abdomen .
4 ) jaundice and itchy skin : often occurs
in advanced disease , encountered yellowish skin , mostly accompanied by itchy
skin that is difficult to heal and more severe when the evening .
5 ) Fever and thin : about 25 % of patients
will experience fever , advanced stage patients usually too lean , even showing
poor conditions .
When the above symptoms are experienced ,
should go to hospital for a check on time , as early as possible to eliminate
the possibility of involvement of gallbladder cancer , for disease -prone
groups should check periodically , the earlier the disease is discovered, the
initial run of therapy can extend the life of life patients effectively .
The diagnosis of gallbladder cancer
1 ) Ultrasound : check the size of the
lesion in the gallbladder ; ascertain the presence or absence of cancer ; check
whether there is any spread to the lymph nodes and liver .
2 ) CT Scan : for those who have an
ultrasound check and strongly suspected gallbladder cancer , need to check the
CT scan with contrast . With so may indicate whether the tumor invaded into the
liver and spread to the lymph nodes .
3 ) MRI : ascertain whether the lesion to
the liver , or when the patient had obstructive jaundice MRI should be
considered .
4 ) PET - CT : make sure the location of
the lesion in the gall bladder and also helps to ascertain whether there is a
lesion in another part .
5 ) Laboratory tests: check the premises
clear whether there is an increase in the tumor marker results may help to
manufacture the diagnosis of gallbladder cancer .
Assessment of gallbladder cancer
Stage I: The cancer is only limited organ
mucosal layer , and also a source of cancer . Operations can provide excellent
results .
Stage II : the cancer invades organs to the
muscle layer . Patients after surgery run , 5-year survival probability can
reach 20 % - 30 % .
Stage III : the cancer invades organs to
the gallbladder wall . Patients after surgery is also the possibility of
running the 5-year survival can reach 20 % - 30 % .
Stage IV: The cancer invades organs to the
wall of the gall bladder and the surrounding lymph nodes . The majority of
patients this stage can run the operation the outside , but on the whole the
results are not good , a minority of patients can survive up to 5 years and
above .
Phase V : cancer invades organs to the
liver directly or even spread to other organs . Gallbladder cancer has been
enlarged to the whole body , Pasen life can rarely exceed 1 year .
Symptoms of gallbladder cancer early stage
less, nothing specific , but the diagnosis of early stage gallbladder cancer
and early operation is essential in maintaining life . Perform operation is a
means to increase the life time of the patient . If can not decide whether or
not the condition itself normally , should immediately seek a doctor for help ,
so the diagnosis is confirmed , treatment immediately run , not to be delayed .
Treatment of gallbladder cancer
Operation
: 1 . Removal of the gallbladder 2 . Removal of the gall bladder expansion 3 .
Partial removal of adjacent organs
Radiotherapy
: in certain parts of the remaining or grow back , done therapy of cancer cell
killing by high levels of radiation exposure
Chemotherapy
: drugs by mouth or intravenously to the blood vessels , passes through the
circulatory flow reaches every part and work against cancer .
Targeted gene therapy : specific parts of
gallbladder cancer , designed therapeutic drugs is concerned , a drug into the
body and will choose the right cancer cells to be killed .
