In order to assess the role of cholelithiasis in the pathogenesis of gallbladder carcinoma in a low-risk population for cholelithiasis and gallbladder cancer, we have studied the relationship between cholelithiasis and cancer. Our findings suggest that, both the relationship between cancer and cholelithiasis, and the frequency of precursors lesions, are very similar to those obtained in surveys carried out in high-risk populations for both conditions. Our findings bear out our hypothesis that cholelithiasis plays a main role in the pathogenesis of gallbladder carcinoma.

Electronic address:

Objectives: CD19-targeting chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy can induce long-term drug-free remission in patients with autoimmune diseases (AIDs). The efficacy of CD19-CAR T-cell therapy is presumably based on deep tissue depletion of B cells; however, such effect has not been proven in humans in vivo.

Methods: Sequential ultrasound-guided inguinal lymph node biopsies were performed at baseline and after CD19-CAR T-cell therapy in patients with AIDs.

However, the effect of smoking on the development of gallstones remains controversial. No studies, to our knowledge, have discussed the association between smoke exposure and gallstones separately in men and women.
