Treatment of the gall bladder cancer in Germany

The average age of patients with gallbladder cancer is nearly 70 years old. Women suffer twice as often as men. 80% of neoplasms of the gallbladder are adenocarcinomas. Researchers identify a number of phenomena affecting the development of this malignant condition:

• age;
• unbalanced diet;
• overweight;
• stones of the gallbladder;
• cysts of the common bile duct and polyps of the gallbladder;
• tobacco consumption;
• exposure to chemicals.

Treatment of the gall bladder cancer in Germany implies such methods as surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. Highly qualified German doctors focus on minimally invasive, sparing methods of operations where possible.
