All terms in NCIT

Label	Id	Description
Anal Canal Squamous Cell Carcinoma	NCIT_C7469	[A squamous cell carcinoma arising from the mucosa of the anal canal.]
Anal Squamous Cell Carcinoma	NCIT_C9161	[A squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) arising from the anal canal or the anal margin (perianal skin). Human papillomavirus is detected in the majority of cases. Homosexual HIV-positive men have an increased risk of developing anal squamous cell carcinoma in comparison to the general male population. Symptoms include anal pruritus, discomfort when sitting, pain, change in bowel habit, and bleeding. The prognosis is generally better for anal margin SCC than for anal canal SCC.]
AIDS-Related Anal Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma	NCIT_C7465	[A non-Hodgkin lymphoma arising from the anus and occurring in HIV-positive patients. Homosexual HIV-positive men have an increased risk of developing anal non-Hodgkin lymphoma in comparison to the general male population. The majority of the cases are large cell lymphomas of B-cell phenotype.]
AIDS-Related Malignant Anal Neoplasm	NCIT_C5047	[A malignant neoplasm arising from the anus and occurring in HIV-positive patients. Representative examples include squamous cell carcinoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Homosexual HIV-positive men have an increased risk of developing such malignancies in comparison to the general male population.]
Anal Lymphoma	NCIT_C5601	[A usually large cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma of B-cell phenotype, arising from the anus. Lymphomas originating from the anal region are rare in the general population, but they are seen with a higher frequency in HIV-positive patients, particularly homosexual men.]
Acute Erythroid Leukemia in Remission	NCIT_C7466	[Acute erythroid leukemia which is not growing and responds to treatment.]
Acute Myeloid Leukemia in Remission	NCIT_C3588	[Acute myeloid leukemia not growing, responding to treatment.]
Pure Erythroid Leukemia	NCIT_C7467	[Acute erythroid leukemia characterised by the presence of immature erythroid cells in the bone marrow (at least 80% of the cellular component), without evidence of a significant myeloblastic cell population present. -- 2003]
Ovarian Monodermal and Highly Specialized Teratoma	NCIT_C8113	[A teratoma of the ovary composed exclusively or predominantly of a single type of tissue derived from the ectoderm or endoderm. A representative example is struma ovarii which is a teratoma composed exclusively or predominantly of thyroid tissue.]
Somatotroph Adenoma	NCIT_C7461	[An adenoma of the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland that produces growth hormone. The vast majority of cases are hormonally functioning and are associated with either gigantism or acromegaly.]
Growth Hormone-Producing Pituitary Gland Neoplasm	NCIT_C7911	[An adenoma or carcinoma of the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland that produces growth hormone.]
Corticotroph Adenoma	NCIT_C7462	[An adenoma of the pituitary gland that produces corticotropin. The vast majority of cases are associated with Cushing disease. Clinical manifestations include truncal obesity with thin extremities, thinning of the skin, osteoporosis, and a tendency to bruise easily. Silent or hormonally non-functioning ACTH producing adenomas have also been described. They produce symptoms of a mass-related lesion.]
ACTH-Producing Pituitary Gland Neoplasm	NCIT_C7909	[An adenoma or carcinoma of the pituitary gland that produces corticotropin.]
Acute Myelomonocytic Leukemia	NCIT_C7463	[An acute leukemia characterized by the proliferation of both neutrophil and monocyte precursors. (WHO, 2001)]
Metastatic Malignant Neoplasm in the Anus	NCIT_C7460	[An epithelial or non-epithelial malignant neoplasm which has spread to the anus from another anatomic site.]
Paget Disease of the Anal Margin	NCIT_C7476	[Paget disease involving the perianal skin.]
Paget Disease of the Anus	NCIT_C5598	[A slowly spreading, erythematous eczematoid plaque in the anal region. Histologically, the basal part or whole thickness of the squamous epithelium is infiltrated by large cells with abundant pale cytoplasm and large nuclei. Half of the cases are associated with an internal malignancy, most often a colorectal adenocarcinoma. The other half of the cases, have a high local recurrence rate and they may become invasive (WHO).]
Anal Margin Carcinoma	NCIT_C7472	[A carcinoma arising in the anal margin or perianal skin (below the anal verge and involving the perianal hair-bearing skin). It includes basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma. Anal margin carcinoma is staged as a skin carcinoma, separately from anal canal carcinoma. -- 2003]
Paget Disease of the Anal Canal	NCIT_C7477	[Paget disease involving the squamous epithelium of the anal canal.]
Anal Canal Adenocarcinoma	NCIT_C7471	[An anal adenocarcinoma arising from the anal canal mucosa. Morphologically, it resembles the adenocarcinoma which arises from the colorectal glandular epithelium. Symptoms include anal pruritus, discomfort when sitting, pain, change in bowel habit, and bleeding.]
