寛解

1. Origins, structure, and basic meaning

• Structure: 寛解 (かんかい) combines easing 寛 and release 解 to denote medical remission.
• Basic usage: It describes symptoms subsiding after treatment while follow-up examinations continue.

2. Common pitfalls and similar expressions

• Remission versus complete cure
  • 寛解 does not guarantee that the disease is permanently gone, so it is distinct from 完治.
