An epidemiological analysis, with US National Cancer Institute authors, of whether Chile's preventive gallbladder surgery programme has cut deaths from gallbladder cancer.
Overview
American Journal of Epidemiology analysis by Chilean and US National Cancer Institute investigators of gallbladder cancer mortality in Chile in relation to the GES programme targeting gallstone patients aged 35 to 49. Europe PMC indexes no abstract for this article, so OnCo carries no figures from it; the two Revista Medica de Chile evaluations linked from this record supply the numbers OnCo quotes.
