Cancer Remission: What Does It Really Mean?
Many people misunderstand the term "remission" when it comes to cancer patients. Often, it’s believed that remission means the patient is cured and out of danger. However, this isn’t entirely accurate.
According to the American Cancer Society, cancer remission is a period when the cancer is responding to treatment or is under control. In a complete cancer remission, all signs and symptoms of the disease may disappear. If this remission lasts for several years, it might be considered a cure.
When someone is in remission, it means they show no signs or symptoms of cancer. The number of cancer cells still growing in the body is not the primary concern. As long as they aren’t causing symptoms, the patient is said to be in remission.
Interestingly, discussions about traditional cancer treatments rarely emphasize the patient’s lifespan or quality of life. These factors often don't feature prominently when talking about cancer remission. Typically, remission refers to a reduction in tumor size or changes in tumor markers?"substances produced in response to cancer. However, since some markers appear in non-cancerous conditions, they aren't always reliable diagnostic tools.
Traditional therapies often succeed in shrinking tumors and reducing these markers, which is why cancer remission is seen as a sign of effective treatment. However, remission doesn’t guarantee survival. For instance, a patient may be considered successfully treated if remission is achieved, but they could still die from other complications, such as pneumonia. Even if pneumonia is fatal due to the weakened state from cancer therapies, the remission indicates a successful treatment.
For many, a treatment that still leads to death doesn’t feel entirely successful. Yet, this is the reality when pursuing only traditional cancer treatments and discussing remission.
