Complete disappearance of all signs and symptoms of cancer (in physical, radiological, blood or urine test) after treatment is termed a complete remission or complete response. However, it does not mean that the cancer has been cured because there may be microscopic cancer cells that may not be identified with diagnostic techniques. There is a risk of recurrence of cancer at some point in the future.
