When a disease, such as cancer, goes into remission this does not mean that it has been cured. What is means is that the disease has reacted to medication or treatment that has been administered, and as a result, shows some level of absence. There are different levels of remission, and this includes partial remission, which in cancer patients refers to the shrinkage or partial disappearance of a tumor. Complete remission refers to the total disappearance of the tumor or disease following treatment.
Remission does not mean that the disease has been cured, and the disease may still be present in the body even though it is not active in the same way that it was before treatment. With partial remission in cancer patients, the cancer is more likely to return to a more active state. With complete remission, the cancer can still return, but this is less likely than it is with partial remission.
When a remission occurs, it can last for varying periods of time ranging from weeks to years, and even if the cancer returns after years of complete remission, further treatment could result in a further period of remission, which to some people is almost as good as a cure. However, people respond differently to different treatments, and it is important to remember that just because one person’s disease went into remission with certain treatment, the effect may not be the same on another person.
In some cases, where a remission has occurred as the result of a particular therapy and then returns after a period of time, it may not necessarily be the same method or form of treatment that sends the disease into remission again.
