Aim: This study aimed to explore the potential of delta neutrophil index (DNI) as a predictive biomarker for the development of endometrial cancer (EC) in women with endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia (EIN). Material and Methods: This retrospective study included 139 women diagnosed with EIN who underwent surgery between 2019 and 2022. Demographic data, medical history, and laboratory parameters, including DNI, were collected from the patients' medical records. Patients with other types of cancer, a history of steroid use, inflammatory, hematologic, or autoimmune diseases, or missing data were excluded. The patients' pathology reports were reviewed, and patients were divided into three groups by the final pathological diagnosis, benign (n=64), EIN (n=66), and EC (n=39). Results: The mean DNI level of the EC group was found to be significantly higher than the EIN and benign groups (4.85±2.31, 2.31±0.89, 1.48±1.03, p2.75% were found to be associated with an 11.56-fold (95% CI: 4-59-29.09, p |
