Among the malignant tumors of the gallbladder, carcinoma of the gallbladder ranks first, and there are other tumors such as sarcoma, carcinoid, primary malignant melanoma, giant cell adenocarcinoma, etc. Since the latter are rare, this chapter mainly discusses primary gallbladder cancer. In the past, it was considered a relatively rare malignant tumor. No matter what method is used for treatment, the course of the disease still progresses rapidly and eventually leads to death. Women are 2 to 4 times more likely to develop the disease than men. It is more common in people aged 50 to 70.
