All terms in NCIT

Label	Id	Description
Free Radical Formation	NCIT_C40502	[Free Radical Formation involves production in normal or pathological processes of chemically unstable, short half-life and highly reactive molecules carrying at least one unpaired or 'free' electron in the outermost electron shell. Appropriating electron(s) from a nearby molecule and damaging that molecule by altering the electron number in its outermost electron shell, Free Radicals produce tissue damage.]
Free Radical Process	NCIT_C41583	[Any subcellular metabolic process in which at least one of the participants has one or more electrons that singly occupy an electron orbital. Free radical processes may promote or prevent damage to tissues in which they arise.]
FAMS - Have Trouble Meeting Needs of Family Because of My Condition	NCIT_C112551	[Functional Assessment of Multiple Sclerosis (FAMS) Mobility: Because of my physical condition, I have trouble meeting the needs of my family.]
Pressor Support	NCIT_C15570
Differentiation Therapy	NCIT_C15571	[Drug therapy aimed at forcing cancer cells to resume the process of maturation and therefore to induce tumor to a more differentiated, less aggressive state. Differentiation therapy restrains cancer cells growth and facilitates the application of more conventional therapies.]
Prevention of Prostate Cancer	NCIT_C15572
Tumor-Draining Lymph Node Lymphocyte Therapy	NCIT_C15573
interleukin-3/interleukin-6	NCIT_C15574
Recombinant Interleukin-6	NCIT_C591	[A recombinant therapeutic agent which is chemically identical to or similar to the endogenous cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6) with antiapoptotic, proinflammatory, antiinflammatory, proproliferative and proangiogenic activities. IL-6 binds to its receptor (IL-6R), activating a receptor-CD130 receptor complex; the CD130 portion of the complex is a signal transduction protein that activates JAK kinases and Ras-mediated signaling pathways, which in turn activate downstream signaling pathways, resulting in the activation of various transcription factors (STAT, ELK-1, NF-IL-6, etc.) and gene transcription. The physiological effects of IL-6 are complex and varied and include hematopoietic, pyrogenic and thermogenic, proinflammatory, antiinflammatory, proproliferative (anti-apoptotic), and angiogenic effects.]
Screening for Lung Cancer	NCIT_C15575
Screening for Ovarian Cancer	NCIT_C15576
Anti-Tumor Necrosis Factor Therapy	NCIT_C15577	[Drug treatment to reduce the activity of tumor necrosis factor, particulary to control inflammation in disease modalities.]
In Vitro Sensitivity-Directed Chemotherapy	NCIT_C15578	[Uses the results of a chemosensitivity testing assay to tailor the treatment to the individual.]
Chemotherapy	NCIT_C15632	[The use of synthetic or naturally-occurring chemicals for the treatment of diseases.]
Pharmacotherapy	NCIT_C15986	[Treatment of disease through the use of drugs.]
Interleukin-2/Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor IgG Chimera	NCIT_C15579
Etanercept	NCIT_C2381	[A recombinant soluble dimeric fusion protein consisting of the extracellular ligand-binding region of recombinant human tumor necrosis factor (rhTNF) receptor attached to the constant (Fc) region of human immunoglobulin G (FcIgG). The receptor moiety of etanercept binds to circulating TNF (2 molecules of TNF per receptor) and inhibits its attachment to endogenous TNF cell surface receptors, thereby rendering TNF inactive and inhibiting TNF-mediated mechanisms of inflammation. (NCI04)]
FAMS - Get Emotional Support From Family	NCIT_C112589	[Functional Assessment of Multiple Sclerosis (FAMS) Family/Social Well-Being: I get emotional support from my family.]
FAMS - Trouble Concentrating	NCIT_C112585	[Functional Assessment of Multiple Sclerosis (FAMS) Thinking and Fatigue: I have trouble concentrating.]
FAMS - My Thinking is Slower Than Before	NCIT_C112586	[Functional Assessment of Multiple Sclerosis (FAMS) Thinking and Fatigue: My thinking is slower than before.]
