All terms in NCIT

Label	Id	Description
Cooperative Trial in Diagnostic Imaging	NCIT_C15947	[A single national Network of investigators that will perform multi-institutional clinical trials in diagnostic imaging related to cancer. The Network will have the capability to conduct a broad spectrum of clinical trials in imaging. This Network will generate new trials in areas of high scientific opportunity. The Network will consist of a Headquarters office that coordinates operations, a Biostatistics and Data Management Center (BDMC), and a number of participating institutions in which the studies are performed. Participating institutions will be selected by the Network's scientific leadership for their ability to contribute to the particular trials in the Network's research repertoire.]
Development and Testing of Digital Mammography Displays and Workstations	NCIT_C15948	[This initiative is intended to advance the state-of-the-art in digital mammography displays and workstation design to facilitate clinical acceptance and implementation of digital mammography for improved breast cancer diagnosis. This PA will solicit research and development in three critical areas in digital mammography: 1) Softcopy Display Hardware; 2) Workstation Software and Design; and 3) Image Perception.]
Human Tumor Gene Index	NCIT_C15949	[Catalog of genes expressed in cells at various stages of tumor development. hGTI is part of CGAP. (Bypass Budget)]
Advanced Technology Center	NCIT_C15950	[The concept of the Center was to have a facility whereby individuals (geneticists, cell biologists, and laboratory-based clinicians) could assemble in an arena to review technologies that are mature enough to span both science and clinics. One section of the ATC is the genome's National Institutes Sequencing Center (NISC) where the NCI sequencing and genotyping group will be located, and another part is the array facility.]
Human Specimen Resources	NCIT_C15951
Cancer Control Research Program	NCIT_C15952
Cooperative Family Registries for Breast and Colorectal Cancer Studies	NCIT_C15953	[Cooperative family registries specific for breast and colorectal cancer studies.]
Genetic Annotation Initiative	NCIT_C15954	[NCI initiate to explore, develop and then apply technology for identification and characterization of genes important in cancer. Based on gene discovery program in CGAP, the GAI is currently exploring the application of multiple technological approaches to searching the 3'UTR of genes for sequence variation. Once identified and confirmed, these variants will be put into public databases maintained by NCIBI's dbSNP and CGAP web resources. See also Cancer Genome Anatomy Project.]
Heart Research	NCIT_C15955
Nucleotide Analog Chemotherapy	NCIT_C15956	[Use of nucleotide analogs in cancer treatment.]
Breast Cancer, Basic Research	NCIT_C15957	[Research on the molecular, genetic, biochemical, cellular, structural, immunological, pharmacological mechanisms and factors as they relate to the causation, progression, diagnosis, and treatment of breast cancer.]
Basic Cancer Research	NCIT_C16085	[Fundamental research designed to obtain or increase general knowledge about cancer, performed without the goal of solving or addressing a specific cancer-related issue or condition.]
Immunosuppressive Effect	NCIT_C40913	[An Immunosuppressive Effect involves interference with, or restraint of, the function of biologic molecules and complexes, or cellular, cell, or tissue components of a normal immune response.]
In Vitro Assay	NCIT_C15958	[Assay conducted in an artificial environment, such as in a test tube, under a defined and controlled set of solvent and solute conditions.]
Bone Formation Inhibition	NCIT_C40917	[Bone Formation Inhibition involves interference with, or restraint of, synthesis by osteoblasts of the hard connective tissue that constitutes the vertebrate skeleton and consists of a matrix of collagenous fibers impregnated chiefly with calcium phosphate and calcium carbonate.]
Musculoskeletal Process	NCIT_C41480	[A Musculoskeletal Process consists of a function of cellular, cell, or tissue components of the organ system comprised of muscle, bone, and cartilage.]
Bone Formation Stimulation	NCIT_C40918	[Bone Formation Stimulation involves initiation of synthesis by osteoblasts of the hard connective tissue that constitutes the vertebrate skeleton and consists of a matrix of collagenous fibers impregnated chiefly with calcium phosphate and calcium carbonate.]
Blood Screening	NCIT_C15960	[Examination of the blood from a group of usually asymptomatic individuals to detect those with a high probability of having a given disease, typically by means of inexpensive diagnostic tests.]
Rehabilitation Study	NCIT_C15961	[The study in the field of restoring the ability to live and work as normally as possible after a disabling injury or illness including physical, speech, and occupational therapy. (OMS94)]
TIL Research	NCIT_C15962	[Research on tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes and their use as a cancer treatment.]
