The gallbladder lies just under the liver in the upper abdomen. The gallbladder stores bile, a fluid made by the liver that helps digest fat.
Almost all gallbladder cancers are adenocarcinomas (cancers that begin in cells that make and release mucus and other fluids).
Types of treatment for gallbladder cancer include surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy.
