Identification of a cut‐off for the macis score to predict the prognosis of differentiated thyroid carcinoma in children and young adults

The metastases, age at diagnosis, completeness of resection, invasion, size of the tumor (MACIS) scoring system was developed to predict disease‐specific survival in patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC), mainly for adults, with a cut‐off score of 6. The purpose of this study was to evaluate its ability to predict prognosis of DTC in children and young adults.
