French term or phrase: garder un fond de
Hi,
This patient is being treated for lung adenocarcinoma that has metastasized.
I have the following sentence:
"je propose un diminution de la corticothérapie à 10 mg/j et je propose de garder un fond de corticothérapie encore pour plusieurs semaines, le temps que la régression soit confirmée"
What do they mean by "garder un fond de corticothérapie" in this instance? Could it be a "baseline dose"? or do they mean "garder un traitement de fond" = "primary therapy"?
Thanks
Joanna

Qu’est-ce qu’un traitement de fond?
C’est un traitement que vous suivez chaque
jour, pendant plusieurs mois. Son but est
de diminuer le nombre de crises et l’intensité
de la douleur. Ce n’est pas le médicament que
vous prenez au besoin au tout début d’une
crise, pour « casser » la crise. Le traitement de
fond est aussi appelé « traitement préventif ».


so perhaps

preventive therapy?
