All terms in NCIT

Label	Id	Description
Cytotoxic Chemotherapy	NCIT_C15681	[A drug therapy that is used to destroy cancer cells.]
Dose-Rate	NCIT_C15682	[The amount of any substance administered over a specific period of time.]
Epidural Chemotherapy	NCIT_C15683
Intrathecal Chemotherapy	NCIT_C15750
Chemotherapeutic Hyperthermic Perfusion	NCIT_C15684
Chemotherapeutic Perfusion	NCIT_C15295	[The process of flooding fluid through the artery to saturate the surrounding tissue. In regional perfusion, a specific area of the body (usually an arm or a leg) is targeted and high doses of anticancer drugs are flooded through the artery to reach the surrounding tissue and kill as many cancer cells as possible. Such a procedure is performed in cases where the cancer is not thought to have spread past a localized area.]
Incubated	NCIT_C15685
Isolated Chemotherapeutic Hepatic Perfusion	NCIT_C15686
Isolated Chemotherapeutic Perfusion	NCIT_C15296	[The delivery of chemotherapy to a specific tissue area that is excluded from the general circulation during the period of infusion, which allows for a high concentration of the drug in the tumour area as well as sparing of the rest of the body from the side effects of the drug.]
Maintenance Therapy	NCIT_C15688	[Continuation of treatment for an extended period of time to prevent relapse.]
Drug Resistance Inhibition Treatment	NCIT_C15689
Amino Acid Synthesis Inhibition	NCIT_C40624	[Amino Acid Synthesis Inhibition involves interference with, or restraint of, enzymatic formation of organic compounds that contain an amino (-NH2) and a carboxyl (-COOH) group.]
Amino Acid Biosynthesis	NCIT_C30017	[Amino Acid Biosynthesis consists of cellular enzymatic reactions that produce amino acids, organic compounds containing an amino and a carboxyl group and often used in protein synthesis by the formation of peptide bonds during ribosomal translation of mRNA. Several important amino acids, such as the neurotransmitter g-aminobutyric acid, have other functions than protein synthesis.]
Histamine Degradation	NCIT_C40626	[Histamine Degradation consists of conjugation, transport, oxidation, or enzymatic breakdown of a decarboxylation product of histidine (histamine), found particularly in mast cells and basophils, and involved in capillary dilation and permeability; blood pressure decrease; smooth muscle contraction; gastric secretion; heart rate acceleration; immediate hypersensitivity; and central neurotransmission.]
Histamine Production	NCIT_C40627	[Histamine Production consists of synthesis of a decarboxylation product of histidine (histamine), found particularly in mast cells and basophils, and involved in capillary dilation and permeability; blood pressure decrease; smooth muscle contraction; gastric secretion; heart rate acceleration; immediate hypersensitivity; and central neurotransmission.]
Serotonin Degradation	NCIT_C40628	[By induction of conjugation, transport, and/or oxidation, Serotonin Degradation consists of breakdown of a secreted biochemical messenger and regulator (serotonin) synthesized from L-Tryptophan that mediates neurotransmission, gastrointestinal motility, hemostasis, and cardiovascular integrity through multiple receptor families on specific target cells.]
SGRQ Past 3 Months Version - How Respiratory Problems Affect You	NCIT_C112677	[St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire Past 3 Months Version (SGRQ Past 3 Months Version) Best describe how your respiratory problems affect you.]
Serotonin Production	NCIT_C40629	[Serotonin Production consists of synthesis from L-Tryptophan of a secreted biochemical messenger and regulator (serotonin) that mediates neurotransmission, gastrointestinal motility, hemostasis, and cardiovascular integrity through multiple receptor families on specific target cells.]
SGRQ Past 4 Weeks Version - Describe Your Current Health	NCIT_C112678	[St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire Past 4 Weeks Version (SGRQ Past 4 Weeks Version) Please check one box to show how you describe your current health.]
SGRQ Past 4 Weeks Version - I Have Coughed	NCIT_C112679	[St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire Past 4 Weeks Version (SGRQ Past 4 Weeks Version) Over the past 4 weeks, I have coughed.]
