    Abstract:
    In purpose of early diagnosis of gallbladder carcinoma, the serum levels of tumor markers CA 72-4, CA 19-9, CEA, AFP, Ferritin and beta HCG were determined in 124 patients with benign and malign diseases of gallbladder, before and 10 days after the operation. The most important clinical significance have CA 72-4 and CA 19-9, which are increased in Ca in situ and carcinoma of the first stage. These early stages of carcinoma cannot be diagnostified by preoperative echotomography, but radical operation is possible with recover by all means. These two tumor markers should be attended in risk group of patients for rising gallbladder carcinoma: calculosis and polyposis. The rest of tumor markers are increased in progressive carcinoma with infiltration of surrounding tissue and metastases.
