Tyrer-Cuzick Model

The Tyrer-Cuzick Model, also known as the TC Model, is a tool used to estimate a person's risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer, particularly in individuals with a family history of these cancers. It considers various factors, such as age, family history, genetic mutations, and personal health history. By calculating a risk score, the model helps healthcare professionals assess whether increased surveillance or preventive measures, such as surgery or medication, may be appropriate for an individual. This personalized approach aids in informed decision-making regarding cancer prevention and management.
