Key Statistics for Gallbladder Cancer
The P站视频’s estimates for cancer of the gallbladder and nearby large bile ducts in the United States for 2024 are:
- About 12,350 new cases diagnosed: 5,900 in men and 6,450 in women
- About 4,530 deaths from these cancers: 1,950 in men and 2,580 in women
Of these new cases, about 4 in 10 will be gallbladder cancers.
Gallbladder cancer is not usually found until it has become advanced and causes symptoms. Only about 1 of 5 gallbladder cancers is found in the early stages, when the cancer has not yet spread outside the gallbladder.
The chances of survival for patients with gallbladder cancer depend to a large extent on how advanced it is when it's found. For more on this, see Survival statistics for gallbladder cancer by stage.
