Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have gallbladder carcinoma along with gall stones. What treatment should I undergo?

Kindly help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thank you for your query.

I reviewed your reports (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity). The report shows a highly suspicious gall bladder mass. It is infiltrating nearby structures and obstructing bile at certain places. So an oncologist's assessment is mandatory to rule out the possibility of radical removal of cancer. If they find it unresectable, they will perform a biopsy to confirm the diagnosis.

In addition, there is typhoid infection and gallbladder stones. Both of these are risk factors for gallbladder cancer. You have not attached the liver, and renal parameters, typhoid serology tests, etc.

If the biopsy proves gallbladder cancer and is unresectable, the prognosis is poor even after chemotherapy.

I hope this has helped you. Thank you.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
