Label	Id	Description
Known Valid Biomarker	NCIT_C68764
Schiller-Duval Body	NCIT_C54124	[A morphologic finding that refers to a structure that consists of a central vessel surrounded by tumor cells. This cell-vessel structure is contained in a cystic space. It is found in approximately 50% of yolk sac tumors.]
Malignant Large Germ Cell with Abundant Cytoplasm	NCIT_C54127
Malignant Primitive Germ Cell	NCIT_C36897
Neoplastic Large Germ Cell	NCIT_C36904
Business Organization	NCIT_C54128	[A structure through which enterprises cooperate systematically to conduct activities for profit.]
Bank	NCIT_C54129	[An officially chartered institution empowered to receive deposits, make loans, and provide checking and savings account services, all at a profit.]
Melengesterol	NCIT_C29191
Retroviral Vector MFGS-MOv18-gamma	NCIT_C29192	[A recombinant retrovirus containing the modified murine retroviral vector MFG-S encoding a chimeric construct, MOv18-gamma. MOv18 is a murine monoclonal antibody developed against epitope of human folate binding protein, which is overexpressed on more than 90% of non-mucinous epithelial ovarian neoplasms. The chimeric construct (MOv18-gamma) encodes the variable region of MOv18 antibody, and the gamma chain of human T-cell receptor. This virion might be used to transduce autologous T lymphocytes, and reintroduced back to the patient after expansion ex vivo to invoke specific immune response against ovarian cancer cells.]
Davana Oil	NCIT_C107300	[The essential oil of Artemisia pallens. Davana oil is used in making perfumes and can be processed to yield the anthelmintic chemical santonin.]
Optical Coherence Tomography	NCIT_C20828	[Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) combines the principles of ultrasound with the imaging performance of a microscope. OCT uses infrared light waves that reflect off the internal microstructure within the biological tissues. The frequencies and bandwidths of infrared light are orders of magnitude higher than medical ultrasound signals, resulting in greatly increased image resolution, 8-25 times greater than any existing modality. In addition to providing high-level resolutions for the evaluation of microanatomic structures OCT is also able to provide information regarding tissue composition.]
Neck Lymph Node Boundary Level III	NCIT_C132499	[The following anatomical structures define the neck lymph node boundary for level III: Superior: horizontal plane defined by the inferior body of the hyoid; inferior: horizontal plane defined by the inferior border of the cricoid cartilage; anterior (medial): lateral border of the sternohyoid muscle; posterior (lateral): lateral border of the sternocleidomastoid or sensory branches of the cervical plexus. (AJCC 8th ed.)]
SLC22A18 Gene	NCIT_C20829	[This gene plays a role in organic-cation transport and alterations in the gene have been associated with several cancers.]
Registered Nurse	NCIT_C20824	[Registered Nurse (R.N.) - a nurse who has graduated from an accredited registered nursing program, has passed the state exam for licensure, and been registered and licensed to practice by a state authority. R.N.s receive educational preparation through hospital-based diploma programs, community/junior college associate's degree programs, baccalaureate programs, or combinations thereof.]
Nurse	NCIT_C20821	[A professional healthcare provider who has graduated from an accredited nursing program, has passed the state exam for licensure, and been registered or licensed to practice by a state authority. Nurses are educationally prepared as functional (LPN/LVN) or professional (RN).]
Advanced Practice Nurse	NCIT_C20825	[A registered nurse, usually prepared at the master's degree level or higher, who functions within a specialty area within nursing practice. Advanced practice nurses make independent and collaborative health care decisions. Advanced practice nurses are expert clinicians engaged in active practice. The advanced practice nurse demonstrates leadership as a consultant, educator, administrator and researcher. An important leadership function of all advanced practice nurses is participation in legislative and professional activities to promote professional advancement and health related social policies. (from AANP)]
Molecular Diagnosis	NCIT_C20826	[The use of molecular tools and techniques, especially gene and protein expression profiles, to diagnose disease.]
Optical Biopsy	NCIT_C20827	[Use of optical coherence tomography to capture ulta-high resolution images of tissue surfaces which can be used to identify cancerous legions.]
Contract FDF Manufacturing	NCIT_C132491	[Manufacturing of a part or all of final dosage form (FDF) that takes place in a contract facility and the contract facility is not identified in an approved ANDA owned by that facility or its affiliates.]
FDF Manufacture	NCIT_C101510	[The act of making a product as ready to be utilized or consumed by the end user.]
