All terms in NCIT

Label	Id	Description
Histidine	NCIT_C29597	[A semi-essential amino acid (children should obtain it from food) needed in humans for growth and tissue repair, Histidine is important for maintenance of myelin sheaths that protect nerve cells and is metabolized to the neurotransmitter histamine. Histamines play many roles in immunity, gastric secretion, and sexual functions. Histidine is also required for blood cell manufacture and protects tissues against damage caused by radiation and heavy metals. (NCI04)]
Isoleucine	NCIT_C29598	[One of nine essential amino acids in humans (present in dietary proteins), Isoleucine has diverse physiological functions, such as assisting wound healing, detoxification of nitrogenous wastes, stimulating immune function, and promoting secretion of several hormones. Necessary for hemoglobin formation and regulating blood sugar and energy levels, isoleucine is concentrated in muscle tissues in humans. Isoleucine is found especially in meats, fish, cheese, eggs, and most seeds and nuts. (NCI04)]
Leucine	NCIT_C29599	[One of nine essential amino acids in humans (provided by food), Leucine is important for protein synthesis and many metabolic functions. Leucine contributes to regulation of blood-sugar levels; growth and repair of muscle and bone tissue; growth hormone production; and wound healing. Leucine also prevents breakdown of muscle proteins after trauma or severe stress and may be beneficial for individuals with phenylketonuria. Leucine is available in many foods and deficiency is rare. (NCI04)]
Breast Phyllodes Tumor	NCIT_C7575	[A benign, malignant, or borderline circumscribed biphasic neoplasm that arises from the breast. It usually affects middle-aged women. It is characterized by the presence of a double layer of epithelial cells that are arranged in clefts, surrounded by a spindle cell mesenchymal (stromal) component.]
Phyllodes Tumor	NCIT_C2977	[A benign, borderline, or malignant fibroepithelial neoplasm arising from the breast and rarely the prostate gland. It may recur following resection. The recurrence rates are higher for borderline and malignant phyllodes tumors. In borderline and malignant phyllodes tumors metastases to distant anatomic sites can occur. The incidence of metastases is higher in malignant phyllodes tumors.]
Deep Penetrating Nevus	NCIT_C7576
Benign Melanocytic Skin Nevus	NCIT_C7571	[A benign, circumscribed proliferation of melanocytes in the skin. Variants include the Spitz nevus, halo nevus, blue nevus, and balloon cell nevus.]
Recurrent Nevus	NCIT_C7577
Melanocytic Nevus	NCIT_C7570	[A neoplasm composed of melanocytes that usually appears as a dark spot on the skin.]
Kidney Medullary Carcinoma	NCIT_C7572	[A type of renal carcinoma affecting mostly young African-Americans. It is located in the medulla of the kidney, and follows an aggressive clinical course. Most reported cases have shown metastatic disease at the time of diagnosis.]
Kidney Carcinoma	NCIT_C9384	[A carcinoma arising from the epithelium of the renal parenchyma or the renal pelvis. The majority are renal cell carcinomas. Kidney carcinomas usually affect middle aged and elderly adults. Hematuria, abdominal pain, and a palpable mass are common symptoms.]
Metastatic Malignant Neoplasm in the Urethra	NCIT_C7573	[A malignant neoplasm that has spread to the urethra from another anatomic site.]
Malignant Urethral Neoplasm	NCIT_C7507	[A primary or metastatic malignant neoplasm involving the urethra.]
Prostate Phyllodes Tumor	NCIT_C7574	[An unusual, biphasic benign or malignant neoplasm that arises from the prostate gland. It is characterized by the presence of an epithelial glandular component and a proliferating stroma.]
Malignant Basal Cell Neoplasm	NCIT_C7586	[A neoplasm composed of basal cells that metastasizes to other anatomic sites.]
Basal Cell Neoplasm	NCIT_C3784	[A neoplastic proliferation of basal cells in the epidermis (part of the skin) or other anatomic sites (most frequently the salivary glands). The basal cell neoplastic proliferation in the epidermis results in basal cell carcinomas. The basal cell neoplastic proliferation in the salivary glands can be benign, resulting in basal cell adenomas or malignant, resulting in basal cell adenocarcinomas.]
Common Hematopoietic Neoplasm	NCIT_C7588
Common Epithelial Neoplasm	NCIT_C7589
Nevus of Ito	NCIT_C7582	[A large brown, blue, or gray hamartoma of dermal melanocytes, usually on the shoulder and upper arm that is most commonly found in Asian populations and in females. It is sometimes associated with sensory changes in the involved skin area, but very rarely becomes cancerous.]
Non-Neoplastic Nevus	NCIT_C3937	[A abnormal, congenital formation or mark on the skin or neighboring mucosa that does not show neoplastic growth.]
