All terms in NCIT

Label	Id	Description
Angiography	NCIT_C20080	[The X-ray examination of the blood vessels or chambers of the heart.]
Emerging Technologies	NCIT_C20081	[Emerging technologies refers to new techniques and devices, or older techniques being used in new ways. These technologies need to be clinical tested to determine whether they would have a positive impact on patient outcome. Includes all areas of cancer research including detection, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention.]
Technology	NCIT_C17187	[Technology is the discipline dealing with the art or science of applying scientific knowledge to practical problems.]
DIABLO Gene	NCIT_C105651	[This gene plays a role in the positive regulation of apoptosis.]
DIABLO wt Allele	NCIT_C105652	[Human DIABLO wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 12q24.31 and is approximately 20 kb in length. This allele, which encodes diablo homolog, mitochondrial protein, is involved in the promotion of caspase-mediated apoptosis. Mutation of the gene is associated with deafness autosomal dominant type 64.]
Diablo Homolog, Mitochondrial	NCIT_C105653	[Diablo homolog, mitochondrial (239 aa, ~27 kDa) is encoded by the human DIABLO gene. This protein plays a role in the activation of caspase-dependent apoptosis.]
LAGE3 Gene	NCIT_C105654	[This gene has no known function.]
LAGE3 wt Allele	NCIT_C105655	[Human LAGE3 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of Xq28 and is approximately 2 kb in length. This allele, which encodes L antigen family member 3 protein, has no known function.]
L Antigen Family Member 3	NCIT_C105656	[L antigen family member 3 (143 aa, ~15 kDa) is encoded by the human LAGE3 gene. This protein has no known function.]
ITSN1 Gene	NCIT_C105657	[This gene plays a role in both signal transduction and endocytosis.]
ITSN1 wt Allele	NCIT_C105658	[Human ITSN1 wild-type allele is located within 21q22.1-q22.2 and is approximately 257 kb in length. This allele, which encodes intersectin-1 protein, is involved in both vesicle endocytosis and small GTPase-mediated signaling.]
Ephrin B Forward Signaling Pathway	NCIT_C91586
Internalization Pathway for Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor	NCIT_C91628
Intersectin-1	NCIT_C105659	[Intersectin-1 (1721 aa, ~195 kDa) is encoded by the human ITSN1 gene. This protein plays a role in the regulation of both small GTPase activity and clathrin-dependent endocytosis.]
Virtual Endoscopy	NCIT_C20097	[The use of 3D CT or MRI scans to construct a simulated visualization of patient specific organs similar or equivalent to those produced by standard endoscopic procedures. Virtual endoscopic visualization avoids the risks associated with real endoscopy. Additionally, there are many body regions not accessible to or compatible with real endoscopy that can be explored with virtual endoscopy. (from R. Robb presentation at Visible Human Project Conference)]
Medical Imaging, Virtual Reality	NCIT_C18869	[Virtual reality in Medical Imaging is the technique of combining 3D DICOM image data sets produced by medical imaging equipment with extremely high-powered computer capabilities. Virtual reality employs medical images as a foundation to create innovative methods of reviewing and analyzing the data they produce.]
DNA Image Cytometry	NCIT_C20098	[A technique for quantitation of cell DNA content.]
Flow Cytometry	NCIT_C16585	[A technique for counting, examining and sorting microscopic particles suspended in a stream of fluid.]
WNT7A Gene	NCIT_C20099	[This gene plays a role in signal transduction and intercellular communication. It is involved in limb development.]
Health Information National Trends Survey	NCIT_C20093	[A survey designed to collect nationally representative data routinely about the American public's use of cancer-related information. The survey provides updates on changing patterns, needs, and information opportunities in health, identifies changing communications trends and practices, assesses cancer information access and usage, provides information about how cancer risks are perceived, and offers a testbed to researchers to test new theories in health communication.]
