Maintenance therapy is a medical therapy that is designed to help a primary treatment succeed.[1] For example, maintenance chemotherapy may be given to people who have a cancer in remission in an attempt to prevent a relapse.[2] This form of treatment is also a common approach for the management of many incurable, chronic diseases such as periodontal disease, Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis.[3][4]
