All terms in NCIT

Label	Id	Description
Vaccinia Virus Study	NCIT_C29884	[Clinical Vaccinia Virus Studies employ vaccinia virus as an attenuated agent or as a vector for gene transfer. In attenuated form, Vaccinia virus can be used for protection against smallpox virus (variola) and is a highly effective immunizing agent. When genetically altered to contain human genes, Vaccinia virus can be used in cancer immunotherapy to induce immune protection against some forms of cancers. (NCI04)]
Airborne Particulate Matter	NCIT_C29886	[Airborne Particulate Matter is a broad class of materials and substances of minute size present in the air that originate from industrial manufacturing processes, automobile exhaust, forest fires, and fossil fuel combustion. Scientific studies have shown that airborne particles are associated with adverse health effects inducing respiratory diseases, heart ailments, and other problems. When inhaled, these particles are likely to reach deeply into the lungs. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) sets standards to control the emission of these particulates and to protect the public health. (NCI04)]
Pollutant	NCIT_C1751	[Any chemical compound, biological object, physical factor in a concentration or amount that adversely alters the physical, chemical, or biological properties of the environment. The term includes pathogens, toxic metals, carcinogens, oxygen-demanding materials, radiation, natural substances, synthetic industrial chemicals, biocides and all other harmful substances and factors. (NCI)]
Californium-252 Fission Neutron Radiation	NCIT_C29887	[Californium-252 is a neutron emitter with a high specific activity. It is used most often in brachytherapy for cancer patients.]
Alpha Radiation	NCIT_C16279	[An emission of positively charged particles composed of two protons and two neutrons, i.e., helium nuclei, emitted during disintegration of very heavy isotopes; a beam of alpha particles or an alpha ray has very strong ionizing power, but weak penetrability.]
Mumps	NCIT_C29888	[A contagious viral infection caused by the mumps virus. Symptoms include swollen and tender parotid glands, fever, muscle aches and fatigue. Due to vaccination programs, mumps has become a rare disease.]
Regressing Friend Leukemia Virus	NCIT_C29889	[Animals inoculated with the regressing strain of Friend virus exhibited an initial pathologic response identical to that induced by conventional strains of Friend virus. Unlike the fatal leukemia produced by conventional Friend virus, the pathology of the disease induced by the regressing strain of Friend virus regresses in 50% of leukemic mice.]
Friend Murine Leukemia Virus	NCIT_C14362	[A murine leukemia virus producing leukemia of the reticulum-cell type with massive infiltration of liver, spleen, and bone marrow. It infects DBA/2 and Swiss mice.]

Laryngopharyngeal Dysesthesia, CTCAE	NCIT_C143642	[A disorder characterized by an uncomfortable persistent sensation in the area of the laryngopharynx.]
Grade 2 Ventricular Flutter, CTCAE	NCIT_C54837

Grade 5 Laryngospasm, CTCAE	NCIT_C146426	[Death]
Laryngospasm, CTCAE	NCIT_C143643	[A disorder characterized by paroxysmal spasmodic muscular contraction of the vocal cords.]
Grade 2 Ventricular Tachycardia, CTCAE	NCIT_C54838	[Non-urgent medical intervention indicated]
Ventricular Tachycardia, CTCAE 5.0	NCIT_C146733	[A disorder characterized by a dysrhythmia with a heart rate greater than 100 beats per minute that originates distal to the bundle of His.]
Ventricular Tachycardia, CTCAE 3.0	NCIT_C54951
Ovarian Tumor of the Thecoma/Fibroma Group	NCIT_C7290	[A group of neoplasms that arise from the ovary and represent a spectrum of tumors ranging from neoplasms that are composed entirely of fibroblasts to those that are composed predominantly of theca cells.]
