What Does NED Stand For?

NED stands for No Evidence Of Disease

NED, or No Evidence Of Disease, is a medical term used to describe a patient's status when all signs and symptoms of a disease, particularly cancer, have been eliminated or are no longer detectable following treatment. This designation indicates a successful response to therapy and serves as an important milestone in the patient's recovery and ongoing health monitoring. However, it does not guarantee that the disease will not return, and regular follow-up is typically recommended.
