All terms in NCIT

Label	Id	Description
Preneoplastic Change	NCIT_C20204	[Any alteration in cell state that promotes or renders a cell or cell population more vulnerable or prone to malignant conversion or transformation. (NCI)]
Tumor Initiation	NCIT_C18129	[The first stage of tumor induction by a carcinogen, consisting of subtle alteration of cells by exposure to a carcinogenic agent so that they are likely to form a tumor upon subsequent exposure to a promoting agent. (NCI)]
Marker of Preneoplastic Change	NCIT_C20205	[Specific molecular molecules or signatures that indicate that a cell will become neoplastic at a future time.]
Disease Marker	NCIT_C18329	[Specific molecular signature of disease, physiological measurement, genotype structural or functional characteristic, metabolic changes, or other determinant that may simplify the diagnostic process, make diagnoses more accurate, distinguish different causes of disease, or enable physicians to make diagnoses before symptoms appear and to track disease progression.]
Sentinel Lymph Node Mapping	NCIT_C20206	[A technique that uses dyes and/or radioactive agents to map the lymphatic drainage of an area in which a tumor is located, thereby identifying the sentinel node.]
Lymph Node Mapping	NCIT_C18210	[Lymph Node mapping, also known as sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping is a procedure in which a radioactive tracer and a blue dye is injected around the tumor site. These two substances travel from the tumor and drain into the sentinel, or main, lymph node. Together they provide a marker for the location and presence of a sentinel lymph node, allowing discovery of minute metastases areas.]
Lifestyle Factors, Unspecified	NCIT_C20201	[The consideration of unspecified lifestyle factors as variables in disease incident, transmission, and control.]
Wireless Technology	NCIT_C20202
Laser-Induced Fluorescence Endoscopy	NCIT_C20203	[A system for detection of precancerous lesions and early stages of certain types of cancer, consisting of an excimer laser coupled to a dye laser and an endoscopic spectral-image analyzer that are used after the patient has been exposed to tumoriphilic photosensitizers.]
MLH3 Gene	NCIT_C20210	[This gene plays a role in DNA mismatch repair and is associated with hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer.]
Lynch Syndrome	NCIT_C8494	[An autosomal dominant hereditary neoplastic syndrome characterized by the development of colorectal carcinoma and a high risk of developing endometrial carcinoma, gastric carcinoma, ovarian carcinoma, renal pelvis carcinoma, and small intestinal carcinoma. Patients often develop colorectal carcinomas at an early age (mean, 45 years). In the majority of the cases the lesions arise from the proximal colon. At the molecular level, high-frequency microsatellite instability is present.]
Newcastle Disease	NCIT_C34849	[A condition caused by infection by the Newcastle disease virus, which may be characterized by conjunctivitis, respiratory illness, and diarrhea.]
Nervous Debility	NCIT_C34846	[An episode of acute, severe anxiety or depression associated with an inability to function as normal.]
Fatigue	NCIT_C3036	[Overall tiredness and lack of energy.]
Neuronitis	NCIT_C34847
Neurosis	NCIT_C34848	[A form of functional mental illness that manifests in distressed emotional reactions such as anxiety, obsessive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, or irrational fears.]
Alport Syndrome	NCIT_C34842	[A genetic syndrome usually inherited as an X-link trait. It is caused by abnormalities in the COL4A5 gene. It affects males more often than females and is characterized by hematuria, progressive renal insufficiency, hearing loss, and ocular abnormalities.]
COL4A5 Gene	NCIT_C71433	[This gene is involved in the determination of the structure of the extracellular matrix.]
Nephropathy	NCIT_C34843	[A term referring to any disease affecting the kidneys.]
Minimal Change Glomerulonephritis	NCIT_C34844	[A glomerular disorder characterized by the electron microscopic finding of loss of podocyte foot processes. Light microscopic examination does not show glomerular changes. Patients present with proteinuria and nephrotic syndrome.]
