The text concerns regimens for cancer patients with Chronic Lymphomatic Leukemia (CLL).
Context:
"How many of the patients who ***progressed*** after prior combination treatment that included AGENT A and AGENT B would most likely have received:
a) 2 prior lines of therapy
b) 3 prior lines of therapy
c) 4+ prior lines of therapy"
"You indicated that you would prescribe AGENT C to your patients who ***progressed*** after AGENT A and AGENT B. Why would you prescribe this regimen against other available regimens?
Answer option : ***Progression*** free survival benefit"
**********************************************
I believe that "progress" in this context doesn't mean "improve", but quite the contrary, i.e. the advancement of a tumor/ metastasis. Taking into account that the cancer type here is leukemia (--> I am not very sure that tumors are manifested in this disease, that could advance/ metastasize), how would you translate "progressed" - "progression" in this context?
Thanks in advance!

: Καλημέρα! Νομίζω υπάρχει διαφορά:Η εξέλιξη δεν είναι απαραίτητα επιδείνωση. Επιδείνωση = aggravation, deterioration, retrogression, worsening, recrudescence, (και επίσης έμμεσα: relapse=υποτροπή, exacerbation=έξαρση)

Καλημέρα! Σωστό αυτό, αλλά στην πράξη (στον τρόπο δηλαδή που χρησιμοποιούνται οι όροι στην ιατρική) δεν υπάρχει διαφορά, αφού όταν μιλούν για εξέλιξη της νόσου εννούν πάντοτε προς επόμενο στάδιο. Το ίδιο και στα Αγγλικά με το progress.
