• Stabilization The tumor may neither shrink nor grow. This can be looked on as a favorable result of therapy,
but doctors tend to be nervous when this happens. They worry that the effect may be brief and the tumor will
start growing again. The period of stabilization can sometimes last months or years.
• Progression The tumor may keep growing despite therapy. The doctor's task is to discover this as soon as
possible after the therapy has had a fair trial. Then a different treatment program can be worked out.
