Statistics About Gallbladder Cancer
Some people use statistics to try to figure out their chance of getting cancer or of being cured. However, statistics show only what happens in large groups of people. Because no two people are the same, you cannot use them to predict what might happen to you.

Am I at Risk for Gallbladder Cancer?
The gallbladder is a small organ that lies under your liver. The gallbladder stores a substance called bile, which helps your body digest fat. Certain factors can make you more likely to get gallbladder cancer than another person. These are called risk factors. However, just because you have one or more risk factors doesn't necessarily mean you will get gallbladder cancer. In fact, you can have all the known risk factors and still not get gallbladder cancer, or you can have no known risk factors and still get it.
