Abstract | |||
"""We are conducting the Chile Biliary Longitudinal Study (Chile BiLS) to prospectively assess risk factors and early detection markers for gallbladder dysplasia and cancer (GDC). This study consists of a cohort study of 6250 individuals with gallstones from the high-risk southern-central region of Chile, focusing on women who are are twice as likely to have gallstones and twice as likely to have gallbladder cancer as men. Enrollment will take approximately 2 years, and the cohort will be followed for 6 years, with visits every other year to collect data on the primary exposures of interest, inflammatory markers and ultrasound characteristics, as well as additional exposures of interest, such as infections, genetics, and environmental exposures (e.g., aflatoxin, pesticides).""" |
