Abstract
Aim: In recent years, parallel to the progress in breast screening programs and radiological examinations, many breast abnormalities have been detected in radiological images of the breast that cannot be distinguished from malignancy and therefore require histopathological evaluation. With the advances in interventional radiology and stereotactic marking methods, histopathological evaluation has become common. It is now widely accepted that inflammation plays an effective role in cancer development and spread. This study aimed to demonstrate the predictive value of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) values obtained from a cheap and simple peripheral venous blood analysis that is easily accessible in every clinic.
