Plateletcrit as a prognostic marker in Hodgkin lymphoma: A pilot study

Journal of Surgery and Medicine, 2023
Background/Aim: Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is a lymphoproliferative malignancy associated with inflammation. Plateletcrit (PCT) is a mean platelet volume (MPV) and platelet count-derived marker that is useful for evaluating malignancies and inflammatory diseases. International Prognostic Score (IPS-7) and more recently, IPS-3, are two indices indicating the
