modalities

O termo "modalities" é muito usado. Não que "types" seja errado, mas eu usaria "modalities".

A frase ficaria "...different modalities of therapeutic failures..."

Exemplos:

"...Continued application of the same or different therapeutic modalities may delay essential treatments..." http://72.14.209.104/search?q=cache:taRIi57YyiQJ:www.humanki...

"Renal scleroderma: comparison of different modalities of treatment."

Obrigada!
neutral Muriel Vasconcellos : In your examples, "modalities" refers to the treatment; the example here refers to the failure.

(explanation)

I think your author got carried away. You can't have different "modalities" of treatment failure. What I think is intended here is:

"...subgroups of subjects divided up according to the treatment modalidies that failed...."
