Abstract

Platelets are associated with the processes that aid in tumour growth and progression. Platelet Count (PLT) and platelet indices like Mean Platelet Volume (MPV), Platelet Large Cell Ratio (P-LCR), Plateletcrit (PCT) and Platelet Distribution Width (PDW) are markers that are linked with platelet activities in cancer. This review involves the evaluation of PLT, MPV and PCT in different cancers. Platelets actions should be always monitored during several diseases, as their potential exceeds the classical function in preventing bleeding. Vast roles of platelets were discovered in several biological functions. Therefore, studying their indices can be effective in the diagnosis of several disorders including cancer.
