"The Society of Radiologists in Ultrasound (SRU) found no link between gallbladder carcinoma and polyps ¹⁷. Most gallbladder cancers arise from flat dysplastic epithelium that thickens as the cancer progresses. They recognise three categories of polyps: non-neoplastic, benign neoplastic, and malignant. The follow-up period is shortened to 3 years. Concerning growth is increased to >4 mm per annum. Slow growth of benign polyps up to 2 mm per annum is common, and conversely, many small polyps disappear. Most malignant polyps are >20 mm."
