Welcome to Onco Life Centre Podcast.

This episode looks at why gallbladder cancer symptoms so often get confused with a gallstone attack. We cover the gallstone connection, the real warning signs, and how doctors reach a diagnosis.

You'll learn:
- Why this cancer so often gets mistaken for a gallstone attack
- How gallstones and chronic inflammation connect to the disease over time
- Basic anatomy of the gallbladder, including where it sits and what it does
- The symptom list, including abdominal pain, nausea, jaundice, and weight loss
- Other risk factors beyond gallstones, including primary sclerosing cholangitis and gallbladder polyps
- How an ultrasound, a CT scan, and a biopsy confirm a diagnosis
- Why persistent pain after a gallstone diagnosis deserves a second look
- What symptoms can signal more advanced disease

Persistent abdominal symptoms deserve a proper check, especially when a gallstone diagnosis does not fully explain them. Most people with gallstones never develop this cancer, but doctors still investigate symptoms that don't add up.
