Depends: Abdominal pain and anemia, if you are over the age of 50 should raise the suspicion of cancer. If you haven't had a recent colonoscopy, this would be a good idea. Gallbladder polyps unless they are about 5-6 mm in size are usually harmless. Liver hemangiomas don't have an appreciable cancer risk. It would be good to make an appointment with a gastroenterologist.

Potpourri : It sounds to me that you have had a lot of tests to evaluate your abdominal pain. The polyp (if <1cm) is of no concern; ditto the hemangioma (if<4cm). Anemia requires a formal evaluation to identify the cause. Abdominal pain, likewise, requires a thorough evaluation to get to the bottom of this. I suggest you see your primary care doctor to help connect the dots and understand the next steps.

Many possibilities!: It's not clearly cancer from what you're saying, although i can see why you would be worried. But more workup is needed.
