The exact cause of gallbladder cancer is currently unknown, but it may be associated with certain high-risk factors, such as gallstones, gallbladder polyps, or biliary tract infections, which can increase the likelihood of developing gallbladder cancer. Additionally, individuals with a family history of gallbladder cancer are also at higher risk. When gallbladder cancer is diagnosed, patients should promptly seek appropriate medical treatment at a hospital.
