A member asked:

Is it true that gallstones past or present can lead to gallbladder cancer?????

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Gallbladder cancer is uncommon. Gallstones do increase the risk of cancer somewhat, but even that does not rise to a level to cause concern. Adopt healthy habits. Visit this site for info: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/gallbladder-cancer/symptoms-causes/syc-20353370
