disease-free survival
Description
The percentage of people with a given disease who are alive without any detectable disease (are disease-free) for a defined period of time.
For example, if cancer treatment results in a 70% disease-free survival over 5 years, then 7 out of every 10 people did not have any detectable disease for 5 years after treatment.
