malignancy risk

Malignancy risk refers to the likelihood that a particular cell, tissue, or growth could become cancerous over time. It is assessed based on factors such as appearance under a microscope, size, location, and behavior. A higher risk indicates a greater chance that the growth could develop into cancer if not monitored or treated. Medical professionals use this risk assessment to make decisions about diagnosis, follow-up, or intervention, aiming to prevent cancer progression and ensure appropriate care.
