ATA Risk Stratification (Thyroid)
Clinical Context & Background
The American Thyroid Association (ATA) Risk Stratification System classifies patients with Differentiated Thyroid Cancer (Papillary/Follicular) into Low, Intermediate, or High risk of structural disease recurrence. This helps tailor post-operative monitoring and TSH suppression targets.
Formula Logic
Classification based on pathology features (Invasion, Mets, Resection, Histology).Reference Data
| Risk Group | Est. Recurrence Risk | TSH Goal |
|---|---|---|
| Low Risk | < 5% | 0.5 - 2.0 mIU/L (or 0.1-0.5 if aggressive) |
| Intermediate Risk | 10 - 20% | 0.1 - 0.5 mIU/L |
| High Risk | > 30% | < 0.1 mIU/L |
