Overview

Prognosis (older Greek πρόγνωσις, modern Greek πρόγνωση - literally fore-knowing, foreseeing) is a medical term denoting the doctor's prediction of how a patient's disease will progress, and whether there is chance of recovery. Since the 20th century, the word is being increasingly used in non-medical contexts as well, for example in corporate finance.


For more information about prognosis in relation to Kidney Cancer it is first important to understand more about Kidney Cancer Staging and Kidney Cancer Grading.


Once the Doctors have these two pieces of information they can talk to you more clearly about Prognosis i.e. Possible Outcome and Treatment
