Popis: Objective: Testicular cancer (TCa) is still the most frequent solid organ cancer in men aged 15-35 years. Mean platelet volume (MPV) alteration is used as an indicator in some cancer. We evaluated MPV levels and their significance as one of the prognostic factors in TCa. Methods: Between January 2006 and October 2019, all TCa data of our clinic were researched. Total of 133 patients diagnosed with TCa enrolled. Age, tumor size, blood tests, clinicopathological data including lymphovascular invasion, pathological stage, invasion of epididymis, spermatic cord, surgical margin, retroperitoneal lymph node involvement in radiological examinations, and metastasis were recorded. The potential prognostic value of MPV was evaluated using receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curves. Prognostic factors were analyzed. Significant p was p
