8q22.1	NCIT_C26437	[A chromosome band present on 8q]
Benign Vaginal Mixed Epithelial and Mesenchymal Neoplasm	NCIT_C40275	[A non-metastasizing neoplasm that arises from the vagina and is characterized by the presence of benign epithelial and benign mesenchymal elements.]
Vaginal Mixed Epithelial and Mesenchymal Neoplasm	NCIT_C40274	[A benign or malignant neoplasm that arises from the vagina and is characterized by the presence of epithelial and mesenchymal elements. This category includes benign mixed tumor, adenosarcoma, carcinosarcoma, and malignant mixed tumor resembling synovial sarcoma.]
Malignant Vaginal Mixed Epithelial and Mesenchymal Neoplasm	NCIT_C40276	[A malignant neoplasm that arises from the vagina and is characterized by the presence of an epithelial and a mesenchymal component. This category includes adenosarcoma, carcinosarcoma, and malignant mixed tumor resembling synovial sarcoma.]
Vaginal Adenosarcoma	NCIT_C40277	[A malignant mixed epithelial and mesenchymal neoplasm that arises from the vagina and is characterized by the presence of a malignant mesenchymal component and a benign or atypical mullerian-type epithelial component.]
Vaginal Sarcoma	NCIT_C7737	[A malignant mesenchymal neoplasm that arises from the vagina. Representative examples include botryoid-type embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma, leiomyosarcoma, and endometrioid stromal sarcoma.]
Vaginal Carcinosarcoma	NCIT_C40278	[An aggressive mixed epithelial and mesenchymal neoplasm that arises from the vagina and is characterized by the presence of a malignant epithelial component and a malignant mesenchymal component.]
Malignant Vaginal Mixed Tumor Resembling Synovial Sarcoma	NCIT_C40279	[A very rare malignant mixed epithelial and mesenchymal neoplasm that arises from the vagina and resembles synovial sarcoma. It is characterized by a biphasic pattern and is composed of gland-like structures that are lined by epithelial cells and a cellular mesenchymal component.]
Benign Vaginal Mixed Tumor	NCIT_C40280	[A non-metastasizing, well circumscribed neoplasm that arises from the vagina and is characterized by the presence of a predominant benign mesenchymal component and benign glandular or squamous epithelial cells.]
Benign Vaginal Melanocytic Nevus	NCIT_C40281	[A neoplasm that arises from the vagina and is characterized by the proliferation of nests of benign melanocytes.]
Vaginal Blue Nevus	NCIT_C40282	[A neoplasm that arises from the vagina and is characterized by the proliferation of subepithelial benign dendritic melanocytes.]
Vulvar Squamous Neoplasm	NCIT_C40283	[A benign, precancerous, or malignant neoplasm that arises from the squamous epithelium of the vulva. Representative examples include vestibular papilloma, intraepithelial neoplasia, and squamous cell carcinoma.]
Vulvar Neoplasm	NCIT_C3443	[A benign or malignant neoplasm that affects the vulva. Representative examples include Bartholin gland adenoma, vulvar nodular hidradenoma, vulvar carcinoma, and vulvar melanoma.]
Vulvar Keratinizing Squamous Cell Carcinoma	NCIT_C40284	[A squamous cell carcinoma that arises from the vulva and is characterized by the presence of keratin pearls.]
Vulvar Squamous Cell Carcinoma	NCIT_C4052	[An invasive squamous cell carcinoma arising from the vulva. Risk factors include the human papilloma virus and cigarette smoking. Precursor lesions include the vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia, lichen sclerosus with associated squamous cell hyperplasia, and chronic granulomatous vulvar disease such as granuloma inguinale. Symptoms include vulvar pruritus or irritation, discharge, bleeding, and pain. The following morphologic variants have been identified: keratinizing, non-keratinizing, basaloid, warty, verrucous, keratoacanthoma-like, and squamous cell carcinoma with tumor giant cells. Risk factors for recurrence include advanced stage, tumor diameter greater than 2.5 cm, multifocality, capillary-like space involvement, associated vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia grades 2 or 3, and margins of resection involved by tumor. (WHO, 2003)]
Vulvar Non-Keratinizing Squamous Cell Carcinoma	NCIT_C40285	[A squamous cell carcinoma that arises from the vulva and is characterized by the absence of keratin pearls.]
Protein Mdm4	NCIT_C88220	[Protein Mdm4 (490 aa, ~55 kDa) is encoded by the human MDM4 gene. This protein plays a role in the mediation of cell cycle arrest.]
CARM1 Gene	NCIT_C88221	[This gene is involved in both chromatin remodeling and protein methylation.]
Prostate Adenocarcinoma	NCIT_C2919	[An adenocarcinoma arising from the prostate gland. It is one of the most common malignant tumors afflicting men. The majority of adenocarcinomas arise in the peripheral zone and a minority occurs in the central or the transitional zone of the prostate gland. Grading of prostatic adenocarcinoma predicts disease progression and correlates with survival. Several grading systems have been proposed, of which the Gleason system is the most commonly used. Gleason sums of 2 to 4 represent well-differentiated disease, 5 to 7 moderately differentiated disease and 8 to 10 poorly differentiated disease. Prostatic-specific antigen (PSA) serum test is widely used as a screening test for the early detection of prostatic adenocarcinoma. Treatment options include radical prostatectomy, radiation therapy, androgen ablation and cryotherapy. Watchful waiting or surveillance alone is an option for older patients with low-grade or low-stage disease.]
Gene Expression	NCIT_C16608	[Typically involves transcription of genetically encoded information into an intermediary message (messenger RNA) and subsequent translation into a functional protein.]
