Of the 147 women who had gallbladder surgery, those who took HRT, consisting of estrogen plus progestin, were 40 percent more likely than women taking placebo to require gallbladder surgery. For every 185 women taking HRT, one additional woman required gallbladder surgery. Other factors such as obesity were more important factors in predicting gallbladder disease that required surgery.

Anti-cancer drug may treat aplastic anemia
Researchers treated 19 patients with severe aplastic anemia with high doses of the anti-cancer drug cyclophosphamide (Article, p. 477). In aplastic anemia, antibodies destroy the bone marrow's ability to make cells. The best treatment for the hard-to-treat and often fatal disease is bone marrow transplantation, but not all patients can have this procedure. High-dose cyclophosphamide was successful in treating some aplastic anemia patients. The researchers say that the small, uncontrolled study "provides strong justification for a multicenter, randomized, controlled trial," and, if high-dose cyclophosphamide proves to generate durable, complete remission in aplastic anemia, the drug has "broad implications for the treatment of many severe autoimmune diseases." An editorial cautions that at this time, cyclophosphamide should still be considered an experimental approach for the initia
