Abstract

Background: Thyroid nodules are mostly benign. Although it varies by region, 5.4% of nodules in men and 6.5% of nodules in women may be malignant. In rural regions where a radiologist, an endocrine surgeon, a cytologist, and an endocrinologist are not present, difficulties may be experienced in the management of thyroid nodules. Objectives: This present study aims to determine if it is possible to comment on whether the nodule is malignant by evaluating the biological markers in patients with thyroid nodules. Methods: We reviewed retrospectively the data of patients between January 2019 and September 2020 who underwent total thyroidectomy in terms of thyroid ultrasonography results, thyroid fine-needle aspiration biopsy results, neutrophil, platelet, lymphocyte, red blood cell, and mean erythrocyte volume (MCV) values, histopathological examination results of thyroid specimens. Subsequently, we calculated Mentzer index, Systemic immune-inflammatory index, and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio for each patient. Results: 140 patients were included in the study. 110 (78.6%) of the patients were female and 30 (21.4%) were male. The mean age of the patients was 48 ± 12.5 (20-76). There was no statistically significant difference in Mentzer index, Systemic inflammatory index, and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratios between patients with malignant and benign thyroid nodules. Conclusion: Biological markers have limited predictive power in the management of thyroid nodules. Therefore, the use of biomarkers that we have studied in the treatment of thyroid nodules does not seem possible at present.

Özet

GİRİŞ ve AMAÇ: Tiroid nodülleri çoğunlukla benign özelliktedir. Yerleşim bölgelerine göre değişmekle birlikte erkeklerde nodüllerin %5,4'ü, kadınlarda ise %6,5'i malign olabilir. Radyoloji, endokrin cerrahisi, patoloji ve endokrinoloji bulunmadığı kırsal bölgelerde tiroid nodüllerinin yönetiminde zorluklar yaşanabilir. Çalışmamızda, tiroid nodülü olan hastalarda bazı biyolojik belirteçlerin analizi ve nodülün benign malign ayırımı açısından öneminin belirlemesi amaçlanmaktadır. YÖNTEM ve GEREÇLER: Ocak 2019-Eylül 2020 tarihleri ​​arasında total tiroidektomi yapılan hastaların tiroid ultrasonografi sonuçları, tiroid ince iğne aspirasyon biyopsi sonuçları, tiroidektomi örneklerinin histopatolojik inceleme sonuçları, nötrofil, trombosit, lenfosit, eritrosit sayıları ve ortalama eritrosit hacmi (MCV) değerleri retrospektif olarak gözden geçirildi. Daha sonra her hasta için Mentzer indeksi, Sistemik immün-inflamatuar indeks ve nötrofil-lenfosit oranları hesaplandı BULGULAR: Çalışmaya 140 hasta dahil edildi. Mentzer indeksi, Sistemik inflamatuar indeks ve nötrofil-lenfosit oranlarında malign ve benign tiroid nodülleri olan hastalar arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark yoktu. TARTIŞMA ve SONUÇ: Biyolojik belirteçlerin tiroid nodüllerinin tedavisinde sınırlı prediktif gücü vardır. Bu nedenle tiroid nodüllerinin tedavisinde biyolojik belirteçlerin kullanımı uygun olmayabilir.
