Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Oncology
  • Nutritional Science

Background:

  • Gallbladder cancer is a rare but often fatal malignancy with distinct geographic and demographic patterns.
  • Gallstones and obesity are recognized risk factors, suggesting a potential role for diet in gallbladder carcinogenesis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the association between dietary patterns and the risk of gallbladder cancer.
  • To evaluate the potential protective or detrimental effects of specific foods on gallbladder carcinogenesis.

Main Methods:

  • A case-control study was conducted with 64 newly diagnosed gallbladder cancer patients and 101 gallstone patients.
  • Dietary intake was assessed using a recall method with a specifically designed questionnaire.
  • Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated for various food items.

Main Results:

  • Significant risk reduction for gallbladder cancer was associated with radish (OR 0.4), green chili (OR 0.45), and sweet potato (OR 0.33) consumption.
  • Consumption of fruits such as mango (OR 0.4), orange (OR 0.45), melon (OR 0.3), and papaya (OR 0.44) showed a protective effect.
  • Increased odds of gallbladder cancer were observed with capsicum (OR 2.2), beef (OR 2.58), tea (OR 1.98), red chili (OR 1.29), and mutton (OR 1.2), though not all statistically significant.

Conclusions:

  • The study indicates a protective role for fruits and vegetables in preventing gallbladder cancer.
  • Consumption of red meat (beef and mutton) appears to be associated with an elevated risk of gallbladder cancer.
