Malignancy Risk

Meaning

Malignancy risk refers to the quantified probability that an individual will develop a cancerous tumor, a condition characterized by uncontrolled cell growth and the potential to invade other tissues. In the context of hormonal health, this risk is specifically evaluated concerning the influence of endogenous hormone imbalances or exogenous hormone replacement therapies on hormone-sensitive tissues, such as the breast, prostate, and endometrium. Clinical practice necessitates a careful, personalized assessment to mitigate this serious health concern.
