Gallbladder Cancer Treatment: Image Enhancement

Image Enhancement for Gallbladder Cancer Patients

Our Image Enhancement Team at Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA) helps gallbladder cancer patients deal with potential gallbladder cancer symptoms and related treatment side effects, such as hair loss and changes in the skin and body. We understand how devastating and difficult these effects of cancer can be to adjust to. Our image enhancement specialists provide support to gallbladder cancer patients in two important ways: cosmetic image enhancement and plastic/reconstructive support.

Cosmetic image enhancement

The Cosmetic Image Enhancement program at CTCA assists both women and men who are undergoing chemotherapy and radiation as part of their gallbladder cancer treatment deal with appearance and body image issues. Our team will help you anticipate and prepare for hair loss and other cosmetic changes that may occur with these conventional forms of gallbladder cancer treatment. Our talented beauticians, cosmetologists and salon personnel are here to help you make the most of your appearance. As part of our integrative approach to cancer care, CTCA also offers helpful classes and seminars for you and your caregiver.

Plastic and reconstructive support

If you are integrating surgery into your gallbladder cancer treatment, our surgical oncologists will work with a team of plastic and reconstructive surgeons to consult with you prior to your gallbladder cancer surgery. In many cases, the plastic surgeons perform their restorative procedures immediately following or during the cancer surgery.
