Value Analysis of Preoperative Peripheral Blood Markers in the Identification of Benign From Malignant Parotid Gland Tumors.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To assess the value of preoperative peripheral blood inflammatory and nutritional parameters in distinguishing between benign and malignant parotid gland tumors.

Methods

A retrospective analysis was conducted on 79 patients with malignant parotid gland tumors and 79 patients with benign parotid gland tumors who were treated at the Second Hospital of Dalian Medical University from January 2015 to December 2024. Preoperative levels of total protein (TP), prealbumin (PA), albumin (Alb), albumin-to-globulin ratio (AGR), apolipoprotein A1-to-apolipoprotein B ratio (ApoA1/ApoB), and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) were compared between the malignant and benign tumor groups. The diagnostic value of these parameters in differentiating between benign and malignant parot
