Label	Id	Description
ovarian carcinoma	EFO_0001075	[A malignant neoplasm originating from the surface ovarian epithelium. It accounts for the greatest number of deaths from malignancies of the female genital tract and is the fifth leading cause of cancer fatalities in women. It is predominantly a disease of older white women of northern European extraction, but it is seen in all ages and ethnic groups. Adenocarcinomas constitute the vast majority of ovarian carcinomas. The pattern of metastatic spread in ovarian carcinoma is similar regardless of the microscopic type. The most common sites of involvement are the contralateral ovary, peritoneal cavity, para-aortic and pelvic lymph nodes, and liver. Lung and pleura are the most common sites of extra-abdominal spread. The primary form of therapy is surgical. The overall prognosis of ovarian carcinoma remains poor, a direct result of its rapid growth rate and the lack of early symptoms. --2002]
pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma	EFO_0002517	[An infiltrating adenocarcinoma that arises from the epithelial cells of the pancreas. It affects males more often than females and the patients are usually over 50 years of age. Microscopically it is characterized by the presence of glandular (ductal) differentiation and desmoplastic stroma formation. Signs and symptoms include pain, loss of weight, and jaundice. It grows rapidly and is usually detected after it has metastasized to other anatomic sites. The prognosis is usually poor.]
Unclassified Renal Cell Carcinoma	EFO_1000603	[A renal cell carcinoma characterized by morphologic features that do not fit easily into one of the other well-defined categories of renal cell carcinoma. Examples of such features include mixtures of morphologic patterns, mucin production, and sarcomatoid morphology.]
renal cell adenocarcinoma	EFO_0005708	[A carcinoma arising from the renal parenchyma. There is a strong correlation between cigarette smoking and the development of renal cell carcinoma. The clinical presentation includes : hematuria, flank pain and a palpable lumbar mass. A high percentage of renal cell carcinomas are diagnosed when an ultrasound is performed for other purposes. Radical nephrectomy is the standard intervention procedure. Renal cell carcinoma is generally considered to be resistant to radiation treatment and chemotherapy.]
Undifferentiated Gallbladder Carcinoma	EFO_1000604	[A carcinoma without evidence of differentiation arising from the gallbladder. The most common variant is the spindle and giant cell type which resembles a sarcoma.]
gallbladder carcinoma	EFO_1001956	[A carcinoma that arises from epithelial cells of the gall bladder]
Transitional Cell Carcinoma	EFO_1000601	[A malignant neoplasm arising from the transitional epithelium, usually affecting the urinary bladder, ureter, or renal pelvis. It may or may not have a papillary configuration. It is graded 1 to 3 or 4 according to the degree of cellular differentiation and architectural patterns. Grade 1 transitional cell carcinoma is histologically benign but it may recur. Transitional cell carcinomas may also affect the upper respiratory tract and the ovaries.]
Transitional Meningioma	EFO_1000602	[A WHO grade I meningioma characterized by the coexistence of meningothelial cells and fibrous architectural patterns.]
meningeal neoplasm	EFO_0003851	[Benign and malignant neoplastic processes that arise from or secondarily involve the meningeal coverings of the brain and spinal cord., A benign or malignant neoplasm that affects the meninges. The majority of the neoplasms arise from meningothelial cells and are called meningiomas. Non-meningothelial cell neoplasms include mesenchymal, non-meningothelial tumors, hemangiopericytomas, and melanocytic lesions.]
meninx	UBERON_0002360	[Membrane organ that surrounds the brain and the spinal cord.]
Ureter Carcinoma	EFO_1000609	[A carcinoma that arises from epithelial cells of the ureter.]
ureter cancer	MONDO_0008627	[A malignant neoplasm involving the ureter]
Ureter Small Cell Carcinoma	EFO_1000610	[A rare carcinoma that arises from the ureter. It is characterized by the presence of small neuroendocrine cells. The prognosis is poor.]
small cell carcinoma	EFO_0008524	[A neuroendocrine carcinoma composed of small malignant cells which are often said to resemble "oat cells" under the microscope. Small cell carcinoma most often affects the lungs. Clinically, this is often a rapidly growing cancer that spreads to distant sites early.]
Urothelial Dysplasia	EFO_1000611	[A morphologic finding indicating the presence of dysplastic changes in the transitional cell epithelium of the urinary tract.]
urothelial neoplasm	MONDO_0024337	[A neoplasm involving a urothelium.]
Vaginal Carcinosarcoma	EFO_1000618	[An aggressive mixed epithelial and mesenchymal neoplasm that arises from the vagina and is characterized by the presence of a malignant epithelial component and a malignant mesenchymal component.]
malignant vaginal mixed epithelial and mesenchymal neoplasm	MONDO_0037746	[A malignant neoplasm that arises from the vagina and is characterized by the presence of an epithelial and a mesenchymal component. This category includes adenosarcoma, carcinosarcoma, and malignant mixed tumor resembling synovial sarcoma.]
Vaginal Melanoma	EFO_1000619	[A primary malignant neoplasm of the vagina composed of malignant melanocytes.]
mucosal melanoma	MONDO_0000544	[A melanoma that arises from a mucosal site.]
