Economical and easily detectable markers of digestive tumors: platelet parameters

This study aimed to evaluate the clinical values of platelet parameters in patients with digestive tumors. A total of 974 people were classified into three groups: malignant group, patients with digestive malignant tumors; benign group, patients with benign tumors; and normal group: healthy individuals. Compared with the benign and normal groups, the malignant group showed significantly increased platelet count (PLT) and plateletcrit (PCT) and significantly reduced mean platelet volume (MPV) and platelet-large cell rate (P-LCR, p
