A Study on Gallbladder Carcinoma With Special Reference to Risk Factors

Gallbladder carcinoma is recognised to remain a serious health problem in the state of Assam, mostly prevalent amongst the elderly population and in rural areas. The high incidence of exposures to metabolic and lifestyle factors strongly underscores the multifactorial theory of gallbladder carcinogenesis. Even though the statistical association had limitations due to sample size, the results strongly underscore the importance of targeted prevention and larger studies in high-incidence areas.
