Association between blood inflammatory indicators and prognosis of papillary thyroid carcinoma: a narrative review.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objective

Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common subtype of thyroid cancer, accounting for up to 85-90% of cases, with the best overall prognosis and mostly inert tumors. However, some tumors are aggressive, causing metastasis, recurrence, and other bad outcomes. Preoperative inflammation indices, such as lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and systemic immune inflammation index (SII) in peripheral blood, have recently gained attention as nonspecific markers of inflammatory response in thyroid. In this study, we reviewed the interactions between preoperative inflammatory factors and outcomes in patients with PTC.
