What are the traditional Chinese medicines for treating gallbladder cancer?

Primary gallbladder cancer is highly malignant, and clinical studies have found that gallbladder cancer and inflammation are closely related. Therefore, we should pay attention to the body's signals and be alert to the possibility of cancer. So, what are the symptoms of primary gallbladder cancer?

1. Most cases of right upper abdominal pain are persistent pain in the right upper abdomen, which may worsen in paroxysmal forms and radiate to the right shoulder and lower back. This symptom accounts for 84%. Since gallbladder cancer is often accompanied by gallstones and inflammation, the nature of the pain is similar to that of calculous cholecystitis. It starts with discomfort in the right upper abdomen, followed by persistent dull pain or dull pain, sometimes accompanied by paroxysmal severe pain and radiating to the right shoulder.

2. The vast majority (90%) of digestive tract symptoms include indigestion, aversion to greasy food, belching, and decreased appetite. This is due to the gallbladder's inability to digest fatty substances due to its renewal function. Nausea and vomiting are also quite common, and there is often a loss of appetite.

3. Jaundice: Due to the spread of cancer, about 1/3 to 1/2 of patients develop jaundice. Jaundice is the first symptom in a few patients. In most cases, jaundice occurs after pain. Jaundice is persistent and progressively worsens. A few patients show intermittent jaundice. Jaundice often appears in the late stage of the disease, accounting for 36.5%. It is mostly caused by cancer tissue invading the bile duct and causing malignant obstruction, accompanied by weight loss, fatigue, and even cachexia, yellowing of the skin and mucous membranes, and difficult-to-treat skin itching.

4. Chills and fever: mostly occur in the late stage of cancer. 25.9% of patients experience fever, and the high fever may persist.

5. Right upper abdominal mass When the lesion develops to the late stage, a mass will appear in the right upper abdomen or upper abdomen, accounting for 54.5%. One reason is that the tumor grows rapidly, blocking the bile duct and causing the gallbladder to swell; the other reason is the obstruction caused by invasion of the duodenum, and obstruction symptoms appear at the same time; in addition, if it invades the liver, stomach, pancreas, etc., masses may also appear in the corresponding parts.
