Transcription: Prognosis. A statement about the likely outcome of disease in a particular patient. In cancer it is based on all available information about the type of tumor, staging, therapeutic possibilities, expected results and other personal or medical factors. For example, breast cancer patients who are diagnosed early usually have a good prognosis.
