Unconventional Western System	NCIT_C15890	[NIH: Subcategory of alternative medical systems in CAM. This sub-category deals with alternative medical systems developed in the West that are not dealt with elsewhere. This includes systems such as homeopathy, Anthroposophically- extended Medicine, Environmental Medicine, Functional Medicine, Radionics, Cayce-based therapies, etc. Included are: Homeopathy, Environmental Medicine, Functional Medicine, Anthroposophically-extended medicine, Radionics, Radiesthesia, Psionic medicine, Cayce-based systems.]
Evaluation of Risk Factors	NCIT_C15892
Cell Bank	NCIT_C15893	[Repository of cell samples]
Technique Development	NCIT_C15894	[Develop and evaluate new laboratory assays, behavioral methods, and statistical techniques for epidemiologic studies. (FMB)]
Use of New Techniques	NCIT_C15895
Cancer Causation Research	NCIT_C15897	[Cancer causation research studies the events involved in the initiation and promotion of cancer. It encompasses chemical and physical carcinogenesis, biological carcinogenesis, epidemiology, chemoprevention, and nutrition research. Studies focus on external agents such as chemicals, radiation, fibers and other particles, viruses, parasitic infections, and host factors such as hormone levels, nutritional and immunologic status, and the genetic endowment of the individual, all of which contribute to the initiation and promotion of cancer.]
Lifestyle and Disease Prevention	NCIT_C15898	[Major category of Complementary and Alternative Medicine. This category deals with theories and practices designed to prevent the development of illness, identify and treat risk factors, or support of healing and recovery processes. It is concerned with integrated approaches for the prevention and management of chronic disease-in-general (DIG) or the common determinants of chronic disease.]
Clinical Preventive Practices	NCIT_C15899	[Subcategory of Lifestyle and Disease Prevention in CAM. This sub-category deals with unconventional approaches whose purpose is to screen for and prevent health-related imbalances, dysfunction's and disease. Examples include, unconventional screening and diagnostic practices, such as electro-dermal diagnostics, medical intuition, chiriography, functional cellular enzyme measures, and preventive practices such as panchakarma.]
Antiemetic Effect	NCIT_C40856	[An Antiemetic Effect involves suppression of nausea and vomiting. Emesis is a complex process coordinated by a central emesis center located in the lateral reticular formation of the mid-brainstem. Inhibition of certain neurotransmitters (e.g., 5-HT) or their receptors located in this region inhibits emesis.]
Negative Regulation of Inflammatory Response Process	NCIT_C40857	[An Antiinflammatory Effect involves interference with, or restraint of, local events that constitute part of innate immunity, involve increased blood supply, and infiltration and activity of leukocytes at a site of injury or disease. Inflammation is induced by release of vasodilatory, opsonizing, and chemotactic mediators that attract phagocytizing macrophages and leukocytes; dilate local blood vessels, increasing local blood flow and capillary permeability; and induce pain.]
Antipruritic Effect	NCIT_C40859	[An Antipruritic Effect involves suppression of an itching sensation caused by histamine stimulation of epidermal nerve endings. Inhibition of histamine or histamine release can produce an antipruritic effect.]
