Label	Id	Description
Population Attributable Risk	NCIT_C20038	[That proportion of disease in the whole population that can be ascribed to the risk factor of concern.]
Risk Estimate	NCIT_C19015	[Methods to predict the degree of health risk arising from a specific health hazard.]
Percent Free Prostate-Specific Antigen	NCIT_C20042	[PSA circulates in the blood in two forms: free or attached to a protein molecule. With benign prostate conditions, there is more free PSA, while cancer produces more of the attached form. A more accurate predictor of cancer than either a patient's age or his total PSA level. (from Cancer Information Service)]
Transition Zone PSA Density	NCIT_C20043	[The ratio of serum PSA to transition zone volume. Takes into account the size of the prostate in determining the significance of an elevated PSA level.]
Pathologic Ab-Ig Protein	NCIT_C20044	[Pathologic Ab-Ig Proteins are immunoglobulin-related (IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, IgM antibody) glycoproteins characteristically found in patients with multiple myeloma, infectious diseases, rheumatoid arthritis and other connective tissue diseases, or systemic autoimmune diseases including systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjogren's syndrome, scleroderma, polymyositis, and mixed connective tissue disease.]
Immunoglobulin	NCIT_C572	[Any of the structurally related glycoproteins that function as antibodies. They are divided into five classes (IGA, IGD, IGE, IGG, IGM) on the basis of structure and biological activity.]
Gene Rearrangement	NCIT_C16611	[Any DNA sequence rearrangement that results in the creation of a novel protein-coding capacity. Within certain genes, gene rearrangement is a normal part of development, facilitating the affinity maturation of B and T lymphocytes as well as class switching of immunoglobulins.]
K22 Award	NCIT_C20040
Career Transition Award	NCIT_C20008	[The purpose of the NCI Transition Career Development Award (K22) is to provide "protected time" for newly independent investigators to develop and receive support for their initial cancer research programs. This award is intended to facilitate the transition of investigators from the mentored to the independent stage of their careers in cancer research. It applies to clinicians who are pursuing basic science careers; clinicians who are pursuing careers in patient-oriented research; and to individuals pursuing careers in the prevention, control and population sciences.]
Technology Development and Commercialization Branch	NCIT_C20041	[Oversees and coordinates technology transfer and partnering with the federal government to develop leading-edge technologies into products that improve public health.]
