Abstract | |||
This is a multidisciplinary population-based study designed to clarify the etiology of gallbladder cancer and to help explain why Chile has the highest reported gallbladder cancer rates in the world. This is a case-control study involving 10 clinical centers in Chile in order to recruit 4000 gallbladder cancer cases and 4000 controls for epidemiologic investigation. |
