Prognosis (Addiction)

The prospect of recovery as anticipated from the usual course of a disease.

Prognosis (Astrology)

Originally meaning fore-knowledge and synonymous with prediction, this has now come to mean an estimate of a likely outcome.

Prognosis (Autism)

The possible outcomes of a condition or a disease and the likelihood that each one will occur.

Prognosis (Bladder Cancer)

A forecast for the probable outcome of a disease based on the experience of large numbers of other patients with similar stage disease. Importantly, making a prognosis is not an exact science. Some patients with poor prognosis beat the odds and live longer than anyone would have predicted.

Prognosis (Blood and Marrow Transplant)

Predicted or likely outcome

Prognosis (Brain Injury)

A prediction of the probable outcome of a medial problem based on the condition of the patient and the usual course of the problem as observed in other individuals.

Prognosis (Breast Cancer)

The forecast of the expected or probable outcome of a disease and the prediction/estimate of the chance for recovery.

Prognosis (Cancer)

The expected or probable outcome of a disease, usually based on statistical analysis of large groups of patients.

Prognosis (Death)

The description of the path a disease is likely to take. Also see "diagnosis."

Prognosis (Diabetes)

Telling a person now what is likely to happen in the future because of having a disease.

Prognosis (Ear Surgery)

A forecast as to probable outcome.

Prognosis (Fitness)

Prediction of the course of an injury or disease, including its end result.

Prognosis (Genetics)

Prediction of the course and probable outcome of a disease.

Prognosis (HIV and AIDs)

The probable future course of disease in a patient.

Prognosis (Horse Health)

The outlook for recovery from a disease.

Prognosis (Hunting)

A computer model for timber growth and yield. It projects per-acre growth and volume yield for commercial timber stands.

Prognosis (Lymphoma)

The likely outcome or course of a disease; the chance of recovery.

Prognosis (Medical)

A doctor's probable forecast of the effects and outcome of a disease

Prognosis (Microbiology)

Forecast as to the possible outcome of a disease.

Prognosis (Multiple Sclerosis)

Prediction of the future course of the disease.

Prognosis (Nutrition)

A forecast as to the likely course and/or outcome of a disorder or condition.

Prognosis (Pathology)

Predicting the likely outcome of a disease based on the condition of the patient and the action of the disease.

Prognosis (Pituitary)

A forecast as to probable outcome.

Prognosis (Prostate Cancer)

The patient's potential clinical outlook based on the status and probable course of his disease; chance of recovery

Prognosis (Pulmonary Fibrosis)

The prospect for survival and recovery from a disease.

Prognosis (Skin Cancer)

The predicted outcome of a disease or condition following either treatment or no treatment. Usually for potentially lethal skin cancers, like squamous-cell carcinoma and melanoma, prognosis is often measured in the five-year survival rate, i.e., the percent of patients who will be alive at the end of five years. For skin cancers known to destroy skin and structures locally, like basal-cell cancer, prognosis is usually measured in chances for the tumor to return following either treatment or no treatment, e.g., the recurrence rate at five years.
