Label	Id	Description
DAPK1 wt Allele	NCIT_C60653	[Human DAPK1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 9q34.1 and is approximately 211 kb in length. This allele, which encodes death-associated protein kinase 1, is a positive mediator of gamma-interferon induced apoptosis and is also a tumor suppressor candidate.]
Benign Uvula Neoplasm	NCIT_C35698	[A non-metastasizing neoplasm that arises from the uvula.]
Benign Soft Palate Neoplasm	NCIT_C4404	[A non-metastasizing neoplasm that arises from the soft palate or uvula.]
Limitation of Use Based on Conditional Approval	NCIT_C60654	[A restriction on the use of a device, medicine or treatment based on parameters set forth by the approver.]
Limitation of Use	NCIT_C54344	[A category for describing factors that limit use of a medical device, medicine or treatment for a specific indication.]
Mixed Tumor of the Salivary Gland	NCIT_C35691	[A benign or malignant neoplasm that arises from the salivary glands. It is characterized by the presence of epithelial and mesenchymal elements. This category includes pleomorphic adenoma, carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma, and carcinosarcoma.]
Mixed Neoplasm	NCIT_C6930	[A neoplasm composed of at least two distinct cellular populations.]
Salivary Gland Neoplasm	NCIT_C3361	[A benign or malignant neoplasm that affects the major or minor salivary glands. Representative examples of benign neoplasms include Warthin tumor, monomorphic adenoma, and pleomorphic adenoma. Representative examples of malignant neoplasms include carcinoma, lymphoma, and sarcoma.]
Posterior Pharyngeal Wall Carcinoma	NCIT_C35692	[A carcinoma that arises from the posterior wall of the pharynx.]
Pharyngeal Carcinoma	NCIT_C9466	[Carcinoma, predominantly squamous cell, arising from the epithelial cells of the pharynx.]
Posterior Pharyngeal Wall Squamous Cell Carcinoma	NCIT_C35693	[A squamous cell carcinoma that arises from the posterior wall of the pharynx.]
Pharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma	NCIT_C102872	[A squamous cell carcinoma that arises from the pharynx.]
Stage IVA Major Salivary Gland Cancer AJCC v7	NCIT_C35694	[Stage IVA includes: (T4a, N0, M0); (T4a, N1, M0); (T1, N2, M0); (T2, N2, M0); (T3, N2, M0); (T4a, N2, M0). T4a: Moderately advanced disease. Tumor invades skin, mandible, ear canal, and/or facial nerve. T1: Tumor measuring 2 cm or less in greatest dimension without extraparenchymal extension. Extraparenchymal extension is clinical or macroscopic evidence of invasion of soft tissues. Microscopic evidence alone does not constitute extraparenchymal extension for classification purposes. T2: Tumor measuring more than 2 cm, but not more than 4 cm in greatest dimension without extraparenchymal extension. T3: Tumor measuring more than 4 cm in greatest dimension, and/or tumor having extraparenchymal extension. N0: No regional lymph node metastasis. N1: Metastasis in a single ipsilateral lymph node, 3 cm or less in greatest dimension. N2: Metastasis in a single ipsilateral lymph node, more than 3 cm but not more than 6 cm in greatest dimension, or in multiple ipsilateral lymph nodes, none more than 6 cm in greatest dimension, or in bilateral or contralateral lymph nodes, none more than 6 cm in greatest dimension. M0: No distant metastasis. (AJCC 7th ed.)]
CRP wt Allele	NCIT_C60650	[Human CRP wild-type allele is located within 1q21-q23 and is approximately 2 kb in length. This allele, which encodes c-reactive protein, is involved in acute inflammatory processes and in immune recognition and effector function. The gene also plays a role in the clinical evaluation of cardiovascular disease.]
Transcription Factor GATA-5	NCIT_C60659	[Transcription factor GATA-5 protein (397 aa, ~41 kDa) is encoded by the GATA5 gene. This protein plays a role in the transcriptional regulation of cardiac smooth muscle cell function.]
Transcription Factor	NCIT_C17207	[Transcription factors are a diverse group of proteins that bind to DNA at specific promoter or enhancer regions. They also bind to DNA-associated proteins to initiate, stimulate, inhibit or terminate transcription. The proteins are often physically associated in a preinitiation complex and contain structural motifs.]
GATA5 Gene	NCIT_C60657	[This gene is involved in transcriptional regulation.]
Gata-Binding Protein	NCIT_C19417	[Sequence-specific DNA-binding proteins that recognize cis-elements with the core sequence GATA (or TATC).]
Transcriptional Regulation	NCIT_C19077	[The control of gene expression at the level of RNA transcription.]
Eye Lymphoma	NCIT_C35690	[A lymphoma involving the eye.]
