progressive
含义: In medical usage, describing a disease or condition that becomes increasingly severe or widespread over time, often without periods of remission.
A progressive disease follows a trajectory of worsening symptoms and declining function, in contrast to relapsing-remitting conditions that fluctuate. The term is commonly paired with specific diagnoses, as in 'progressive supranuclear palsy,' 'progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy,' or 'primary progressive multiple sclerosis.' It should not be confused with the political or general sense of 'progressive,' meaning forward-looking or reformist.
