According to the Mayo Clinic, Gallbladder and Bile Duct Cancers can seldom be prevented. However, there are risk reduction guidelines.
For example, the American Cancer Society recommends at least five servings of fruits and vegetables every day, along with six servings of foods from other plant sources such as whole-grain breads, cereals, rice and beans.

According to the Mayo Clinic, scientists do not know the exact causes of gallbladder and bile duct cancer. However, even though the "why" is unknown, the process -- once it has started -- is well understood.

According to the Mayo Clinic, gallbladder and bile duct cancer rarely produce signs and symptoms in the early stages. When symptoms do appear, they often resemble those of other, more common, gallbladder problems such as gallstones or infection.

Editor's Note:
"Race" is sometimes mentioned as a risk factor in the development of certain cancers and a number of other diseases. When you read this in a discussion about an illness, note that the explanation seldom refers to anything biological. Instead, it usually refers to behavior, such as eating habits. The kinds of behavior usually mentioned as risk factors are culturally determined. They are not genetic or biological.
