   When is cancer in remission?

   • Cancer is considered to be in remission when the signs and symptoms of the disease have decreased or resolved. Patients who are in complete remission may still have microscopic cancer cells in the body. As a result, patients in remission may be encouraged to continue treatment to take care of any lingering cancer cells.

   What does complete remission mean?

   • Complete remission means that tests, physical exams, and scans show that all signs of your cancer are gone. Some doctors also refer to complete remission as “no evidence of disease,” or NED. That doesn’t mean you are cured. For both types of remission, the decrease or absence of cancer signs must last for at least a month.

   How is cancer remission determined?

   • Cancer remission is determined by blood tests, imaging tests, or a biopsy, depending on the type of cancer. During treatment, your cancer will be closely monitored so your doctor will be able to see any reduction in cancer signs. This reduction has to last for at least a month for your cancer to be considered in remission.
