DEF

The length of time during and after the treatment of a disease, such as cancer, that a patient lives with the disease but it does not get worse.

OBS

In a clinical trial, measuring the progression-free survival is one way to see how well a new treatment works.

OBS

progression-free survival; PFS; progression-free interval; PFI: To help improve clarity around the unknown effects on OS [overall survival] based on PFS findings alone, renaming PFS to progression-free interval (PFI) has been proposed, since the "survival" in PFS may confuse patients, public, and physicians that improving PFS automatically meant improved OS.

Key term(s)
  • progression free interval
  • progression free survival

French

Domaine(s)
  • Épidémiologie
  • Recherche scientifique
DEF

[...] temps entre le début du traitement et la date où la maladie recommence à évoluer [...]

OBS

intervalle sans progression; survie sans progression; SSP : Le terme de «survie sans progression» pourrait influencer le jugement des patients, notamment lorsqu'il leur est proposé un essai clinique dont c'est le critère de jugement principal. [Le remplacer] par «intervalle sans progression», terme jugé moins ambigu, pourrait mieux refléter ce qui va permettre d'évaluer l'efficacité du traitement.
