Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Being in remission means that the disease is still present, but symptoms are not experienced. In the case of leukemia, it means that the cancer cells are no longer detectable in the body through standard tests, and the individual is not experiencing any symptoms. However, it does not necessarily mean that the disease has been cured or that nothing further can be done in terms of treatment.
