Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and red cell distribution width (RDW) are important markers for inflammatory diseases and cancers. In our study, it was evaluated whether NLR, PLR, RDW were determinative for prostate biopsy decision. The pathology results and laboratory values of the patients who underwent transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS)-guided prostate biopsy between May 2017 and December 2019 due to elevated prostate specific antigen (PSA) or findings in prostate examination were analyzed retrospectively. People who had no prostate-related complaints, cancer diagnosis and no history of inflammatory disease were included as the control group. It was investigated whether there was a difference in NLR, PLR and RDW between the patients with benign prostate cancer (Pca) biopsy and the control group. When the biopsy patients were compared as benign and PCa; Prostate specific antigen (PSA) and age were found to be statistically higher in the Pca group, while the hemoglobin value was lower. There was no difference between the groups in terms of NLR, PLR and RDW. When the control group and the Pca group were compared, it was observed that the NLR and RDW values were statistically higher in the Pca group. Patients who underwent prostate biopsy have an inflammatory condition due to PCa or benign causes. It was determined that NLR, PLR and RDW, which are inflammatory markers, cannot be used as markers for the differentiation of PCa and benign before prostate biopsy. The difference between the control group and PCa was thought to be due to cancer-related inflammation.
