Risk factors for gallbladder cancer. An international collaborative case–control study

TL;DR: In a case-control study at four hospitals in La Paz, Bolivia, and at one hospital in Mexico City, Mexico, 80-four patients with newly diagnosed, histologically confirmed gallbladder cancer were compared with 126 control subjects without stones and with 264 control subjects with cholelithiasis or choledocholithiasis without cancer as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effect of high altitude on platelet counts, thrombopoietin and erythropoietin levels in young Bolivian airmen visiting the Andes.

TL;DR: A significant and sustained elevation in platelet numbers within 48 h of ascent to high altitude is demonstrated and a role for tpo as a mediator of the increased platelet count is not supported, but these data do not discount epo as a potential candidate.
Journal ArticleDOI

Serum CEA and CA 19-9: potential future diagnostic or screening tests for gallbladder cancer?

TL;DR: Blood specimens were sought from patients with cancer of the gallbladder and on controls of similar age and sex undergoing upper abdominal surgery for carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and CA 19‐9, with the former being a better test than the latter.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Epidemiology of Cancer of the Extra-Hepatic Biliary Tract in Bolivia

TL;DR: Differences in disease incidence between Bolivia and the US could not be fully explained by differences in age, sex, or racial distributions and studies designed to investigate the causes could provide important clues to disease aetiology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pathophysiology of Tumor Progression in Human Gallbladder: Flow Cytometry, CEA, and CA 19-9 Levels in Bile and Serum in Different Stages of Gallbladder Disease

TL;DR: It appears that the progression from normal tissue to invasive adenocarcinoma results in increased production of these antigens and often in loss of cell polarity as well, i.e., inability to prevent leakage of the antIGens into the serum.
