Detailed description
Investigators performed the epidemiologic study to uncover the reason of relatively higher incidence of Gallbladder cancer in small isolated island, Jeju island, one of small province among 11 self governing area in South Korea. Tow studies, including descriptive epidemiology and analytic epidemiology using case-control study, some risk factors were obtained regarding Gallbladder cancer development in this area. Old age, female, and gallstone were potential risk factors and alcohol consumption was preventive factors.
