About this trial
The main hypothesis of this study is that preoperative hemogram parameters can be used as biomarkers for malignancy in patients with thyroid nodule Bethesda 3 cytology.
The secondary hypothesis is that BRAF molecular testing has a high predictive value in predicting malignancy in patients with thyroid nodule Bethesda 3 cytology.
Primary outcome: Preoperative hemogram parameters. Secondary outcome: BRAF positivity.
Eligibility criteria
This trial accepts healthy volunteersQualifiers

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Mean Platelet Volume (MPV) (fL)
Mean Platelet Volume (MPV) (fL) values will be taken and recorded in the preoperative hemogram parameters of all patients.
Neutrophil/lenfosit Ratio (NLR)(103/µL)
Neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) will be calculated by taking the Neutrophil (103/µL) and Lymphocyte (103/µL) values in the preoperative hemogram parameters of all patients.
Platelet/Lenfosit Ratio (PLR)(103/µL)
Platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR) will be calculated by taking the Platelet (103/µL) and Lymphocyte (103/µL) values in the preoperative hemogram parameters of all patients.
Lenfosit/Monosit Ratio (LMR)(103/µL)
Lymphocyte/Monocyte Ratio (LMR) will be calculated by taking the Lymphocyte (103/µL) and Monocyte (103/µL) values in the preoperative hemogram parameters of all patients.
Secondary outcomes
BRAF molecular test
Pathological molecular test (25 patients)
