Label	Id	Description
SGRQ Past 3 Months Version - Walking Up Hills	NCIT_C112643	[St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire Past 3 Months Version (SGRQ Past 3 Months Version) These are questions about what activities usually make you feel short of breath these days: Walking up hills.]
Breast Cancer pM1 TNM Finding v6 and v7	NCIT_C49009	[Breast cancer with distant metastasis. (from AJCC 6th and 7th Eds.)]
Breast Cancer Pathologic Distant Metastasis TNM Finding v6	NCIT_C48971	[A pathologic finding about one or more characteristics of breast cancer, following the rules of the TNM AJCC v6 classification system as they pertain to distant metastases. TNM pathologic distant metastasis findings are based on clinical findings supplemented by histopathologic examination of one or more tissue specimens acquired during surgery.]
Breast Cancer Pathologic Distant Metastasis TNM Finding v7	NCIT_C88363	[A pathologic finding about one or more characteristics of breast cancer, following the rules of the TNM AJCC v7 classification system as they pertain to distant metastases. TNM pathologic distant metastasis findings are based on clinical findings supplemented by histopathologic examination of one or more tissue specimens acquired during surgery.]
Melanoma of the Conjunctiva pT0 TNM Finding v7	NCIT_C88617	[Melanoma of the conjunctiva with no evidence of a primary tumor. (from AJCC 7th Ed.)]
Antibody Degradation Process	NCIT_C40676	[Antibody Degradation consists of conjugation, transport, oxidation, and/or proteolysis of members of a class of cell-surface or secreted B lymphocyte proteins that non-covalently interact through intermolecular physical forces of attraction and spatial complementarity selectively and specifically with foreign substances (antigens), typically as part of an immune response.]
Pascolizumab	NCIT_C88618
Complement Degradation Process	NCIT_C40677	[Complement Degradation consists of conjugation, transport, oxidation, and/or proteolysis of complement system proteins; sequentially interacting serum proteins (some serine proteases), their receptors, and related regulatory proteins. Activated by cell-surface bound antibody, immune complexes, or a microbial membrane carbohydrate, complex complement cascades (classical or properdin pathway) generate Membrane Attack Complex, which creates target cell wall pores and lysis. The complement system also plays a role in antibody-dependent cytolysis, anaphylaxis, phagocytosis, opsonization, chemotaxis, and hemolysis.]
Cytokine Degradation Process	NCIT_C40678	[Cytokine Degradation consists of conjugation, transport, oxidation, and/or proteolysis of a class of soluble non-antibody paracrine or autocrine signaling glycoproteins (cytokines) secreted by immune cells that regulate immune responses through high affinity binding with specific receptors. Cytokines act as intercellular mediators regulating immune and inflammatory responses. Activation enhances cell proliferation and differentiation, secretion of other biologically active molecules, and responses to immune and inflammatory stimuli.]
Angiomyofibroblastoma	NCIT_C49016	[A benign myofibroblastic neoplasm, usually arising in the pelviperineal region. It is characterized by the presence of neoplastic spindle to round cells, dilated thin walled vessels, and stromal edema. Most patients present with painless circumscribed masses.]
Benign Fibroblastic Neoplasm	NCIT_C7147	[A benign mesenchymal neoplasm characterized by the presence of neoplastic fibroblasts without malignant characteristics.]
Gardner Fibroma	NCIT_C49017	[An uncommon, poorly circumscribed, benign neoplasm arising in the soft tissues of infants, children and adolescents. It is characterized by the presence of haphazardly arranged spindle-shaped fibroblasts, collagenous stroma formation, and plaque-like growth pattern. There is a strong genetic component associating the neoplasm with Gardners syndrome and deep fibromatosis/desmoid tumor.]
Fibroma	NCIT_C3041	[A non-metastasizing neoplasm arising from the fibrous tissue. It is characterized by the presence of spindle-shaped fibroblasts.]
Regional Lymph Node	NCIT_C49018	[A lymph node that drains lymph from a region of interest.]
Lymph Node	NCIT_C12745	[A bean-shaped organ surrounded by a connective tissue capsule. It is part of the lymphatic system and is found throughout the body. It is composed predominantly of lymphocytes and its main function is immune protection.]
Metabolomics	NCIT_C49019	[Metabolomics is the study of the biological metabolic profile of a cellular specimen in a specific environment at an isolated timepoint. This discipline depicts the physiological states of cells and organisms by focusing on carbohydrates, lipids, and other metabolites. Several analytical techniques are utilized to quantify the metabolic content of specimens such as mass spectrometry and electrophoretic applications.]
Bioinformatics	NCIT_C17964	[Bioinformatics derives knowledge from computer analysis of biological data. These can consist of the information stored in the genetic code, but also experimental results from various sources, patient statistics, and scientific literature. Research in bioinformatics includes method development for storage, retrieval, and analysis of the data. Bioinformatics is a rapidly developing branch of biology and is highly interdisciplinary, using techniques and concepts from informatics, statistics, mathematics, chemistry, biochemistry, physics, and linguistics. It has many practical applications in different areas of biology and medicine. (M. Nilges and Jens P. Linge, Unite de Bio-informatique Structurale, Institut Pasteur, Paris)]
Myofibroblastoma	NCIT_C49012	[A benign, well circumscribed soft tissue neoplasm characterized by the presence of spindle shaped myofibroblasts and mast cells in a collagenous stroma.]
Numerous Stromal Mast Cells Present	NCIT_C49014
Protein Degradation Inhibition	NCIT_C40680	[Protein Degradation Inhibition involves interference with, or restraint of, specific degradation of a protein - involving conjugation, transport, oxidation, and proteolysis. Often involved in signal transduction or cell communication events, protein degradation is not to be confused with proteolysis, which applies only to peptide bond hydrolysis. (NCI)]
