Mazzaferri score

The Mazzaferri score is a tool used by doctors to estimate the risk that a thyroid cancer has spread or come back after treatment. It considers factors like the patient’s age, tumor size, and the cancer's characteristics. By combining these details, it helps physicians decide on the best treatment plan and follow-up strategy. Essentially, it provides a way to assess how aggressive the cancer might be and the likelihood of recurrence, enabling more personalized and informed patient care.
