hershi -“bb8: Are you saying the risk of cancer increases if someone with a gallstones problem does NOT have the surgery to remove it?”
He’s not saying it – Medical Science is.
From the University of Maryland Medical System (amongst many):
(I didn’t post all of the article, nor all of the complications.)
“Gallstones and gallbladder disease – Prognosis and Complications:
Other Complications:
Gallbladder Cancer: Gallstones are present in about 80% of people with gallbladder cancer. There is a strong association between gallbladder cancer and cholelithiasis, chronic cholecystitis, and inflammation. Symptoms of gallbladder cancer usually do not appear until the disease has reached an advanced stage and may include weight loss, anemia, recurrent vomiting, and a lump in the abdomen.
Research shows that survival rates for gallbladder cancer are on the rise, although the death rate remains high because many people are diagnosed when the cancer is already at a late stage. When the cancer is caught at an early stage and has not spread beyond the mucosa (inner lining), removing the gallbladder (resection) can cure many people with the disease. If the cancer has spread beyond the gallbladder, other treatments may be required.”
