The post-disease follow-up process is generally addressed under two main categories:
1. Remission (Disease Control): When a disease enters remission, meaning it is brought under control, the aim is to maintain this state through methods such as consolidation therapies or stem cell transplantation. In this phase, patients are closely monitored, initially on a monthly basis, or quarterly depending on the situation, for up to five years.
2. Cure (Complete Recovery/Lasting Healing): At the end of the five-year follow-up period, once complete recovery or lasting healing from the disease is presumed, follow-ups are reduced to annual intervals. These annual follow-ups are conducted not primarily to detect disease recurrence, but rather to monitor and manage the long-term complications of the treatments administered.
