Abstract :Management of Bethesda Category 3 and 4 patients remains a challenge. The modified systemic inflammatory score insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(mSIS); and other inflammatory parameters are used for prognosis assessment in various cancers. This retrospective study aims to explore prediction strength of the inflammatory parameters in Category 3 and 4 patients. One hundred and twenty three patients had undergone thyroidectomy for Category 3 and 4 fine needle aspiration biopsy insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(FNAB);. The data of inflammatory markers including Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(NLR);, lymphocyte to monocyte ratio insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(LMR);, albumin to globulin ratio insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(AGR); and mSIS were evaluated retrospectively. There were no statistically significant difference in inflammatory parameters between benign and malignant patients and none of the inflammatory parameters had predictivity for thyroid cancer. Also in mSIS groups, thyroid cancer incidence were similar insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P=0.684);. Inflammatory parameters and mSIS were failed to predict thyroid cancer in patients who had category 3 and 4 FNAB.
