Mark Lewis: This week, though, enough time elapsed in a durable remission that I actually got to tell a patient they were cured!
Quoting Mark Lewis on X/Twitter:
”Oncologists tend to be wary of the word “cure”; “remission” is the term we prefer when cancer is undetectable but could still recur. This week, though, enough time elapsed in a durable remission that I actually got to tell a patient they were cured! Hope springs eternal, indeed.”
