Complete Remission refers to complete elimination of cancer as far as can be told by all appropriate testing. For example, if there is no trace of cancer left over by CT scans, a lung cancer might be said to be in complete remission. In the case of leukemia, one would look at the bone marrow to see if all traces of leukemia have been eliminated. Unfortunately, this does not necessarily mean "cure" since sometimes it is still possible for the cancer to relapse later. Partial Remission usually refers to substantial but incomplete elimination of cancer. It is understood that some of the tumor is still present.
If a cancer is in remission, there is no sign of it on scans or when the doctor examines you. Doctors use the word 'remission' instead of cure when talking about cancer because they cannot be sure that there are no cancer cells at all in the body. So the cancer could come back in the future, although there is no sign of it at the time.

Tissue-type An individual's tissue-type is defined by the characteristics of six genes (A, B, C, DRB1, DQB1 and DPB1), collectively known as the human leukocyte antigen group (HLA). Testing for HLA groups, known as "tissue-typing", is usually performed on a small blood sample and involves analysing the genes that code for the HLA proteins.
A complete remission is when cancer goes away after treatment and there is no longer any sign of it. If the cancer has shrunk but not gone away completely, this is a partial remission.
