Nötrofil lenfosit oranı: Papiller tiroit kanserini multinodüler guatrdan gerçekten ayırt eder mi?

Neutrophil to iymphocyte ratio: Does it really differentiate between papillary thyroid carcinomas and multinodular goiter

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, preoperatif nötrofil lenfosit oranının papiller tiroit karsinomu, papiller tiroit mikrokarsinomu ve benign multinodüler guatr arasında ayırıcı tanıdaki değerini ortaya koymaktır. Metod: Çalışmaya, total tiroidektomi uygulanan ve histopatolojik tanıları postoperatif patoloji raporları ile doğrulanan papiller tiroit karsinomu, papiller tiroit mikrokarsinomu ve multinodüler guatr hastaları dahil edildi. Bulgular: Ortalama TSH düzeyi papiller tiroit karsinomu grubunda 1.85 ± 1.18 mIU / L, papiller tiroit mikrokarsinomu grubunda 1.78 ± 1.04 mIU / L ve multinodüler guatr grubunda 1.15 ± 0.91 mIU / L idi. TSH düzeyleri gruplar arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklıydı (p

Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study is to reveal the value of preoperative neutrophil lymphocyte ratio in differential diagnosis between papillary thyroid carcinoma, papillary thyroid microcarcinoma and benign multinodular goiter. Materials and methods: Patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma, papillary thyroid microcarcinoma, and multinodular goiter whose histopathological diagnosis was confirmed by postoperative pathology reports were included in the study. Results: The TSH levels were statistically significantly different among the groups (p < 0.001). The intergroup comparison revealed that the TSH levels were significantly lower in the multinodular goiter group compared to the papillary thyroid carcinoma and papillary thyroid microcarcinoma groups (p < 0.001, p0.001). The mean neutrophil count was 4.98 ± 1.19 in the papillary thyroid carcinoma group, 4.68 ± 1.33 in the papillary thyroid microcarcinoma group, and 4.59 ± 1.40 in the multinodular goiter group. The neutrophil counts of the groups were found to be significantly different (p = 0.013). The papillary thyroid carcinoma group had a significantly higher neutrophil count than the multinodular goiter group. The mean Neutrophil lymphocyte ratio value was 2.20 ± 0.71 in the papillary thyroid carcinoma group and 2.02 ± 0.92 in the multinodular goiter group. Neutrophil lymphocyte ratio values were significantly higher in the the papillary thyroid carcinoma group (p = 0.006). Conclucion: We believe that increased neutrophil lymphocyte ratio may be an indicator of underlying malignant disease in patients with thyroid nodules in the preoperative period.
