Gallbladder polyps that are benign lesions with complete removal of the polyp are usually completely cured and do not affect the patient’s life expectancy. If there are malignant lesions, the 5-year overall survival rate is 5% to 10%, and 80% of end-stage patients have a survival rate of no more than 1 year.
Gallbladder polyps are mostly benign lesions, with a few having malignant or malignant changes. Gallbladder polyps usually have no obvious clinical symptoms, mainly relying on ultrasonography, if the diameter of the gallbladder polyps more than 1cm, or short-term polyp enlargement and symptoms, suspected of malignant transformation should be taken to surgery. After surgical removal, the polyp is usually cured and does not affect the patient’s survival time.
If gallbladder polyps are diagnosed as malignant, then it is gallbladder cancer, which has a poorer prognosis in general, and the 5-year overall survival rate is 5% to 10% after surgery combined with radiotherapy and targeted therapy.
Thus, the survival time of gallbladder polyps depends on the benign or malignant nature of the polyps, and patients need to follow the doctor’s instructions for regular review.
