Abstract:
Thyroid cancer is the most common malignant tumor of endocrine system. Its incidence rate has been increasing worldwide in recent years.Although the prognosis of most patients is good,local recurrence or distant metastasis is also common.And some of them die due to low cancer differentiation and rapid disease progression.Immune response and inflammatory response play an important role in the occurrence and development of tumors.Studies have shown that the number and ratio of some inflammatory cells in peripheral blood are important prognostic factors of cancer,such as platelets,neutrophils,lymphocytes,monocytes,etc.This paper reviews the application of PLR,NLR,SII,LMR and CRP in thyroid cancer,in order to provide a more comprehensive reference for the comprehensive diagnosis and treatment of thyroid cancer.
