Reference Terms
Remission/NED: This is good! No cancer is present. Most children will go off treatment after achieving this status, but some may have to continue treatment (i.e. Leukemia, Neuroblastoma). We'll say their scans are clean/clear.
Progression: The cancer has spread.
Stable: The cancer has not decreased or spread.
Relapse: This is when the cancer has returned and a new treatment plan is typically started.
