Construction of a nomogram prediction model for determining the risk of metastasis in medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) patients. (a) A prediction model comprising the infiltrating range, diameter, calcification, blood flow, and calcitonin level was constructed; (b) the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve reflects the predictive power of this nomogram prediction model; and (c) the decision curve analysis of the nomogram prediction model.
