incurable disease
Illness without remedy
An incurable disease is one that cannot be eliminated or reversed by medical treatment.
The term doesn't necessarily mean fatal—many incurable conditions can be managed for decades: Diabetes is an incurable disease, but millions live full lives with it.
The phrase often carries emotional weight, suggesting permanence and the limits of medicine.
