Can Gallstones Cause Cancer? | Gallbladder Cancer Risk Explained

Why gallstones can sometimes lead to cancer 🩺 Gallstones are common, and most are harmless. But in rare cases, long-standing gallstones can contribute to gallbladder cancer. 🔹 How it happens: • Repeated irritation → chronic inflammation • Thickening and scarring of the gallbladder wall • Cellular changes over time → risk of cancer 🔹 Higher-risk situations: • Large gallstones more than 3 cm • Long history of gallbladder inflammation • Porcelain gallbladder (calcified wall) • Family history of gallbladder cancer ✅ Patient takeaway: Most gallstone patients will never develop cancer. But persistent symptoms or suspicious scan findings should be checked by an HPB surgeon. Early surgery, when needed, can prevent long-term complications. 📢 Share this video — it may help someone understand the link between gallstones and gallbladder cancer risk.
