Remission refers to a period during which the signs and symptoms of a disease are reduced or have disappeared. In conditions like cancer, autoimmune disorders, or chronic illnesses, remission indicates that the disease is under control, either partially or completely.

A partial remission means that some symptoms remain but have decreased, while a complete remission means that all detectable signs of the disease are gone. Remission does not always mean the disease is cured, and continued monitoring or maintenance therapy may be necessary to prevent relapse.
