Aim: In this study, by comparing resectable and unresectable patients over the laboratory data of patients with pancreatic cancer, the predictive usefulness of haematological parameters and CA19-9 in the evaluation of inoperability was explored.
Material and Method: The study included 147 individuals diagnosed with pancreatic cancer at Hitit Univesity Erol Olçok Training and Research Hospital between 2015 and 2021. Patients were divided into two groups: those who had surgery (group 1) and those who were unable to have surgery (group 2). The platelet/mean platelet volume ratio (P/MPV), platelet/platelet distribution volume ratio (P/PDW), neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), lymphocyte/monocyte ratio (LMR), and C- reactive protein/lymphocyte ratios (CRP/L) were all calculated.
Result: When the patients’ NLR, mass size, CRP/L, CRP, and CA-19.9 levels were compared between groups, a significant difference was observed. When the age, NLR, mass size, P/PDW, P/MPV, CRP (C reactive protein), CRP/L, platelet distribution volume (PDW), and CA 19-9 values of patients in Group 2 with superior mesenteric artery (SMA) and superior mesenteric vein (SMV) invasion (n:26) were compared to those in Group I, a statistical difference was detected.
Conclusion: In this study, NLR, CRP, CRP/L, CA 19-9 levels, and tumour mass were revealed to be significantly relevant in determining the chance of resectable surgery. In cases of unresectability or vascular invasion, we anticipate that these values can assist us prevent unnecessary laparotomies.

Pankreas kanserinde vasküler invazyon ve inoperabilitenin değerlendirilmesinde hematolojik parametrelerin ve CA 19-9’un önemi

Öz

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, pankreas kanserli hastaların laboratuvar verileri üzerinden rezeke edilebilen ve edilemeyen hastalar karşılaştırılarak, hematolojik parametrelerin ve CA19-9’un inoperabilitenin değerlendirilmesinde prediktif faydası araştırıldı.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya 2015-2021 yılları arasında Hitit Üniversitesi Erol Olçok Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi’nde pankreas kanseri teşhisi konan 147 birey dahil edildi. Hastalar ameliyat olanlar (grup 1) ve ameliyat olamayanlar (grup 2) olmak üzere iki gruba ayrıldı. Trombosit/ortalama trombosit hacim oranı (P/MPV), trombosit/trombosit dağılım hacim oranı (P/PDW), nötrofil/lenfosit oranı (NLR), lenfosit/monosit oranı (LMR) ve C-reaktif protein/lenfosit (CRP/L) oranları hesaplandı.
Bulgular: Hastaların NLO, kitle boyutu, CRP/L, C reaktif protein (CRP) ve Ca-19.9 düzeyleri gruplar arasında karşılaştırıldığında anlamlı fark görüldü. Grup 2’de yer alan ve superior mezenterik arter (SMA), superior mesenteric ven (SMV) invazyonu olan hastalar (n:26) Grup I ile karşılaştırıldığında; yaş, NLR, kitle boyutu, P/PDW, P/MPV, CRP, CRP/L, trombosit dağılım hacim (PDW) ve Ca 19-9 değerleri arasında istatistiksel fark saptandı.
Sonuç: Bu çalışmada, NLR, CRP, CRP/L, CA 19-9 seviyeleri ve tümör kitlesinin, rezektabl cerrahi şansını belirlemede önemli ölçüde ilişkili olduğu ortaya çıktı. Rezektabl olmama veya vasküler invazyon durumlarında, bu değerlerin gereksiz laparotomileri önlememize yardımcı olabileceğini tahmin ediyoruz.
