Alteraciones genéticas en lesiones preneoplásicas y neoplásicas de la vesícula biliar

This article aims to review the most relevant morphological and molecular aspects involved in gallbladder (GB) cancer. In Chile, gallbladder cancer is the main cause of death due to cancer, among women older than 40 years. However, there is almost none information about the morphological changes and...
