Makes sense.

I recall reading that a lot of cancer starts in scar tissue. People with tissue injury to the lungs from smoking, or the esophagus from reflux, or diverticuli of colon. If gall stones cause damage or scaring, perhaps that is more susceptible

” lot of cancer starts in scar tissue” It’s the inflammation. All those things like chewing tobacco (oral cancer) cause chronic cell turnover....more chances of a genetic mutation which leads to runaway cell growth (cancer)
