NCT06539702

Brief Summary

The main hypothesis of this study is that preoperative hemogram parameters can be used as biomarkers for malignancy in patients with thyroid nodule Bethesda 3 cytology. The secondary hypothesis is that BRAF molecular testing has a high predictive value in predicting malignancy in patients with thyroid nodule Bethesda 3 cytology. Primary outcome: Preoperative hemogram parameters. Secondary outcome: BRAF positivity.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • Mean Platelet Volume (MPV) (fL)

    Mean Platelet Volume (MPV) (fL) values will be taken and recorded in the preoperative hemogram parameters of all patients.

    1 week

  • Neutrophil/lenfosit Ratio (NLR)(103/µL)

    Neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) will be calculated by taking the Neutrophil (103/µL) and Lymphocyte (103/µL) values in the preoperative hemogram parameters of all patients.

    1 week

  • Platelet/Lenfosit Ratio (PLR)(103/µL)

    Platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR) will be calculated by taking the Platelet (103/µL) and Lymphocyte (103/µL) values in the preoperative hemogram parameters of all patients.

    1 week

  • Lenfosit/Monosit Ratio (LMR)(103/µL)

    Lymphocyte/Monocyte Ratio (LMR) will be calculated by taking the Lymphocyte (103/µL) and Monocyte (103/µL) values in the preoperative hemogram parameters of all patients.

    1 week

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • BRAF molecular test

    1 week

Study Arms (1)

2/Group B (Benign), Group M (Malign)

Mean Platelet Volume (MPV), Neutrophil/lymphocyte Ratio (NLR), Platelet/Lymphocyte Ratio (PLR) and Lymphocyte/Monocyte Ratio (LMR) will be recorded in preoperative hemograms. Among the patients included in the study, BRAF molecular testing will be performed on the preoperative cytology of 25 patients whose thyroidectomy materials were reported to be malignant. with thyroid nodule identified by Bethesda 3 cytology were examined retrospectively. According to the pathology results, they were divided into 2 groups: benign and malignant. Group B (Benign);Preoperative hemogram parameters, Bethesda 3 cytology, Thyroidectomy, benign pathology. Group M (Malign);Preoperative hemogram parameters, Betheda 3 cytology, Thyroidectomy, malign pathology, BRAF molecular test
