Abstract
Objective: To determine the association of malignancy potential of gallbladder polyps with tumor markers and cholesterol levels, and at which value the presence of malignancy should be suspected. Study Design: Observational study. Place and Duration of Study: University of Health Sciences, Adana City training and research Hospital from December 2017 to November 2020. Methodology: Ninety patients diagnosed with gallbladder polyp by abdominal ultrasonography, were included in the study. Patients were divided into subgroups of true pseudopolyp, cholesterol-non-cholesterolpolyp, malignant-non-malignant polyp. The groups were compared in terms of age, gender, polyp size, number of polyps, preoperative total cholesterol, HDL (high-density lipoprotein), LDL (low-density lipoprotein), triglyceride, Ca 19-9 (carbohydrate antigen 19-9), Ca 72-4 (carbohydrate antigen 72-4), Cea (carcinoembryonic antigen) levels. Results: In the true polyp group, polyp size, Ca 19-9, Ca 72-4 and Cea median values were signi cantly higher (p=0.001, p=0.029, p=0.003, and p=0.007, respectively); whereas, triglyceride levels were signi cantly lower compared to the pseudopolyp group (p=0.002). Polyp size was signi cantly lower in cholesterol polyp group compared to non-cholesterol polyp group (p= 0.032), and LDL and triglyceride medians were signi cantly higher (p=0.031, and p11 mm AUC: 0.906 for size, >24.1 U/mL. AUC: 1.00 for Ca 19-9, >9.6 U/mL AUC: 1.00 for Ca 72-4, and >40 ng/mL AUC: 0.984 for CEA, respectively. Conclusion: Polyps larger than 11mm with high levels of CEA, Ca 72-4, Ca 19-9, evaluated together, may act as a guide for the clinician in predicting malignancy. The availability of economical and accessible parameters may allow a new algorithm to be developed in the treatment and follow-up approach of gallbladder polyps.
