Gallbladder Cancer: Symptoms 

The symptoms of gallbladder cancer often don't start until the tumor is big or the cancer has spread. Common symptoms of gallbladder cancer include: 

• Pain or discomfort in the right side of the upper belly (abdomen)

• Lumps in the abdomen

• A sense of fullness after eating even small amounts

• Nausea and vomiting

• Poor appetite

• Loss of weight without trying

• Fever

• Yellowing of the skin or the white part of the eyes (jaundice) 

• Severe itching

Many of these symptoms are also caused by other health problems. Some are a lot like the symptoms caused by gallstones or gallbladder inflammation. But it's important to see a healthcare provider if you have these symptoms. Only a healthcare provider can tell if you have cancer.
