Aim:We
aimed to evaluate the usage of Galectin-3, Hepsin andTTF-1 levels as a marker
for the differentiation of malignant and benign in patients with thyroid
nodules.

Metods:Study was done
prospectively between January 2018 and April 2018 in the our clinic, in
patients planned for operation due to thyroid nodule. Galectin-3, Hepsin
andTTF-1 levels were measured in the pre-operative serum of the benign and
malign groups. The measured levels are evaluated statistically to determine
whether there was any significant difference between malignant and benign
groups.

Results:When the levels of Galectin-3, Hepsin andTTF-1 in the malign
and benign group were compared; There was a statistically significant
difference inTTF-1 levels(p = .038), no significant difference was found in
Hepsin and Galectin-3. When the macropapillary and micropapillary types were
compared in the malign patient group, there was a significant difference
between the Galectin-3 levels(p = .009), but no difference was found between
Hepsin andTTF-1.

Conclusions:It was seen that the decrease of Galectin-3 level in thyroid
papillary carcinoma could be effective in transformation from micro carcinoma
to macro carcinoma, andTTF-1 could be an important marker at the
differentiation between benign and  malign
in thyroid nodules
