Gall bladder cancer & Urinary bladder cancer

Gallbladder Cancer

• Causes/Risk Factors: Linked to gallstones, chronic inflammation, age (typically over 70), gender (more common in women), obesity, and ethnicity (higher in Native Americans and Hispanics).
• Symptoms: Includes abdominal pain, jaundice, nausea, weight loss, and fever.
• Treatment: Involves surgery (cholecystectomy), chemotherapy, and sometimes radiation therapy.

Urinary Bladder Cancer

• Causes/Risk Factors: Mainly attributed to smoking, chemical exposures, age (typically over 55), gender (more common in men), race (higher in Caucasians), and chronic bladder inflammation.
• Symptoms: Includes blood in urine, urinary changes, pelvic or back pain.
• Treatment: Involves surgery (transurethral resection or cystectomy), immunotherapy, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy.

Both cancers require early detection and tailored treatment plans based on the stage and individual factors for optimal outcomes. Regular follow-up care is crucial to monitor for recurrence and manage long-term effects.
