Cholecystitis and cholangiocarcinoma: a two-sample Mendelian randomization study
We found evidence supporting a causal effect between cholecystitis and cholangiocarcinoma, indicating an increased likelihood of cholangiocarcinoma in patients with cholecystitis through MR analysis.These findings may help inform clinical strategies for the management of cholecystitis, with the aim of potentially reducing the risk of cholangiocarcinoma.
