worsening of a disease's symptoms and spread over time

Disease progression refers to the process by which a disease advances in severity over time. This can involve the worsening of symptoms, the spread of the disease to other parts of the body, or the development of complications. Understanding disease progression is crucial for both diagnosing the stage of a disease and planning appropriate treatment strategies. For example, in the context of alopecia, disease progression might involve the gradual increase in hair loss areas or the transition from patchy hair loss to more extensive baldness.
