Gallbladder Cancer

Overview

Gallbladder is a small organ found on the right side of our body under the liver, which stores the bile (digestive fluid) produced by the liver. The location of the gallbladder makes the growth of this type of cancer much easier and detection so much harder. Formation of mutated cells in this region leads to tumours and is called gallbladder cancer.
