Gallbladder Polyps and Cancer Care

Gallbladder polyps are growths or lesions that form on the inner lining of the gallbladder. While most gallbladder polyps are benign, some may develop into cancerous tumours over time. Gallbladder cancer is a rare but serious condition that can be difficult to detect and treat in its early stages.
At Progress Gastro Care, we offer specialised care for patients with gallbladder polyps and cancer. Our team of experienced doctors and medical professionals is equipped with the latest technology and treatment options to provide the best possible care for our patients. Our goal is to provide personalised care to each patient, with a focus on early detection and prevention of gallbladder cancer. We work closely with our patients to develop individualised treatment plans that take into account their specific needs and preferences. If you or a loved one have been diagnosed with gallbladder polyps or cancer, we are here to help.

Treatments offered
The treatments offered under Gallbladder Polyp and Cancer Care are as follows:
  • Observation: This is a monitoring approach where patients with small, asymptomatic gallbladder polyps are regularly monitored with imaging tests to ensure they do not grow or develop into cancerous tumours.
  • Surgery: Depending on the size and location of the gallbladder polyp or tumour, surgical removal of the gallbladder, or cholecystectomy, may be recommended. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that involves making small incisions in the abdomen and using a laparoscope to remove the gallbladder or polyp.
  • Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP): This is a procedure that combines endoscopy and X-rays to visualise the bile ducts and treat any blockages or stones that may be causing symptoms.
  • Chemotherapy: This is a type of cancer treatment that involves using drugs to kill cancer cells or slow their growth.
  • Radiation therapy: This is a type of cancer treatment that uses high-energy radiation to kill cancer cells or shrink tumours.
  • Bile duct stent placement: In cases where a gallstone or tumour is blocking the bile ducts, a stent may be placed to help keep the ducts open and allow bile to flow freely.
  • Palliative care: This type of care is focused on providing relief from symptoms and improving the quality of life for patients with advanced gallbladder cancer or other terminal conditions.
