Estimator
Estimators that are commonly used to describe prognoses include:
- Progression-free survival - the length of time during and after medication or treatment during which the disease being treated (usually cancer) does not get worse.
- Survival rate - indicating the percentage of people in a study or treatment group who are alive for a given period of time after diagnosis.
- Survival time - the remaining duration of life. If not otherwise specified, it generally starts from the time of diagnosis.
