Remission

When the symptoms of a chronic disease (such as cancer) begin to subside, the disease is said to be in remission. On rare occasions, this has been known to happen "spontaneously" (that is, with no known cause), but in the overwhelming majority of cases, it is due to the success of a given course of treatment.
