Comparison of Neutrophil/Lymphocyte and Platelet/Lymphocyte Ratios for Predicting Malignant Potential of Suspicious Ovarian Masses in Gynecology Practice

Ovarian masses have a large spectrum from benign cysts to malign ovarian cancer (Prapaporn et al., 2008). The most critical step in the management of ovarian masses is deciding the malignant potential. The inadequate surgeries in local hospitals result in incomplete surgeries and result in poor prognosis of the patients (Ashrafgangooei and Rezaeezadeh., 2011). In the case of ovarian masses, preoperative workshop in order to guess the malignant potential of the mass includes; tumor markers, sonographic evaluation, computerized tomography and/or magnetic resonance imagining (Ashrafgangooei and Rezaeezadeh., 2011; Arab et al., 2012; Hafeez et al., 2013). Despite all of the preoperative evaluation in some ovarian masses clinicians should not decide the malignant potential. In such situation the most used technique is intraoperative frozen section (FS) analysis of tumor (Shih et al., 2011). FS is a procedure performed in a pathology laboratory in order to perform a rapid microscopic analysis and decide the malignant potential of a tissue (Gal and Cagle, 2005). In gynecology practice FS is used in detecting malignant potential of endometrial pathologies (Balik et al., 2013)
