Disease-modifying treatment

A disease-modifying treatment, disease-modifying drug, or disease-modifying therapy is a treatment that delays, slows or reverses the progression of a disease by targeting its underlying cause.[1] They are distinguished from symptomatic treatments that treat the symptoms of a disease but do not address its underlying cause.[2]
