what to do with PROGRESION

Spanish to English Medical
In this particular context (survival rates): "Observa una ventaja significativa en la supervivencia libre de progresión (p=0.03) para el grupo de tratamiento combinado, sin embargo no se aprecia dicha ventaja en la supervivencia global (p=0.07 )." Get rid of it, call it logarithmic progression, ...? Thanks to the doctors and paramedics out there...

Progression-free survival

No, no puedes eliminarlo sin más, es un concepto clave en oncología:

Progression-free survival. This term defines the length of time during and after treatment that the cancer does not grow. Progression-free survival includes the amount of time patients have experienced a complete response or a partial response, as well as the amount of time patients have experienced stable disease.

I imagine that this has to do with the combination of chemotherapy and radioterapy in cancer treatm.

A significant advantage is noticed in the survival not considering the life expectancy progression (p=0.03) for the combined group being treated. However, this advantage is not noticed in the global survival rate (p=0.07 )."

Espero que te sirva.
