The Diagnostic Power of the Platelet Mass Index for Testicular Tumours: A Simple Blood Test

Introduction: The relationship between inflammation and cancer has long been the focus of researchers' interest. There are many inflammatory markers studied for this purpose in the literature. In this context, we focused on the effects of platelet counts and platelet mass index (PMI) as inflamm...
