Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a multiplex risk factor that arises from insulin resistance accompanying abnormal adipose deposition and function.

Aim: Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) are prognostic markers of differentiated thyroid cancers. In our study we evaluated NLR, PLR and C-reactive protein for predicting the occurence of differentiated thyroid cancer. This is the first study that compares NLR and PLR to C-reactive protein indifferantiated thyroid cancer not only papillary cancer but also folliculer cancer.Materials and Method: This study includes 51 pa...
