biological therapy


Explanation:

None of the hits for 'biotherapy' have much to do with mainstream medicine, though the term certainly exists in English. See link for details of biological therapy in the treatment of arthritis.

neutral  Cetacea: True, but that's just what the text opposes: mainstream medicine and biotherapy ("traitements conventionnels et/ou biothérapies").
17 mins
  -> not sure the text is opposing the two. Take an example - Google 'rituximab biothérapie' and 'rituximab biological therapy' for an indication that these are equivalent terms. Most of the hits for 'rituximab biotherapy' are French.
neutral  Michael Barnett: Cetacea misunderstands. The text refers to conventional mainstream therapy vs the newer mainstream therapies. See my note on the question for "conventional therapy".
14 hrs
agree  Eric Bullington: "biological therapy" refers to treatment using biologics, not the biologics themselves, which actually fits this context better.

une autre option (le terme que je rencontre le + fréquemment en traduisant de l'anglais au français)

et les anti-TNF font bien partie des biomédicaments, même si le texte français ne précise pas - je suis d'accord avec Angela, la traduction ne doit pas le préciser non plus

agree  Michael Barnett: There are several drugs within this class. They are not "alternative" therapies, just unconventional in the sense that they are a new class of pharmaceuticals compared to the old treatments.
