Various prognostic systems are used to assess disease recurrence risk, to tailor treatment and follow-up strategies. The initial Risk Stratification System (RSS) and dynamic Response to Therapy Re-stratification (RTR) system, recommended by the 2015 American Thyroid Association (ATA) Guidelines, are the most employed. Still, they...
