Gallbladder carcinoma is a biliary tract tumor with a high mortality rate. The objectives of this study were to explore the risk factors of Gallbladder carcinoma in patients with gallstones and to establish effective screening indicators. The study suggest that the gallbladder cancer is constantly evolving, with much of this change caused by lifestyle, cultural and dietary factors. Balanced diet, prevention of malnutrition/adulteration, tobacco prevention and early intervention for cholelithiasis may help in decreasing the incidence of this dreaded disease. More structured studies need to be carried out to ascertain risk factors for GBC in our population subgroup such the religion, native language and education.
