A rate of disease-free survival for a specific treatment of a particular type of cancer is the percentage of patients in remission (i.e., having no signs of the cancer) for a given period of time following completion of the therapy.
Comparison of disease-free survival rates of different treatments is a way to evaluate the relative efficacy (i.e., effectiveness) of the different therapies.
