Abstract

Objective: Endometriosis is characterized by the development of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. Aim of this study is to investigate the diagnostic value of neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and cancer antigen (CA)-125 in a diagnosis of endometriosis. Material and methods: In this retrospective study, the medical data of a total of 30 patients who underwent surgery due to endometriosis between January 2012 to December 2017 at Pamukkale University were analyzed. Results: NLR and CA-125 were increased in the patients with endometriosis. Conclusion: A diagnostic test without the need for surgery will reduce the associated surgical risks, increase accessibility to a diagnostic test and improve treatment outcomes.
