All terms in NCIT

Label	Id	Description
RNA Analysis	NCIT_C18473	[Molecular biology procedures, including Northern Blot, Differential display, RT-PCR, and RNase protection for qualifying or quantifying RNA. (NCI/OSP)]
Partition Coefficient	NCIT_C20610	[A constant symbolizing the ratio of a dissolved substance in a two-phase system. (from EPA Terminology Reference System)]
Lip and Oral Cavity Cancer pT3 TNM Finding v8	NCIT_C132697	[Lip and oral cavity cancer with tumor size greater than 4 cm or any tumor greater than 10 mm DOI. (from AJCC 8th Ed.)]
Lip and Oral Cavity Cancer Pathologic Primary Tumor TNM Finding v8	NCIT_C132691	[A pathologic finding about one or more characteristics of lip and oral cavity cancer, following the rules of the TNM AJCC v8 classification system as they pertain to staging of the primary tumor.]
Lip and Oral Cavity Cancer pT4 TNM Finding v8	NCIT_C132698	[Lip and oral cavity cancer with moderately advanced or very advanced local disease. (from AJCC 8th Ed.)]
Lip and Oral Cavity Cancer pT4a TNM Finding v8	NCIT_C132699	[Lip and oral cavity cancer with moderately advanced local disease. For lip: Tumor invades through cortical bone or involves the inferior alveolar nerve, floor of mouth, or skin of face (i.e., chin or nose). For oral cavity: Tumor invades adjacent structures only (e.g., through cortical bone of the mandible or maxilla, or involves the maxillary sinus or skin of face). Note: Superficial erosion of bone/tooth socket (alone) by a gingival primary is not sufficient to classify a tumor as T4. (from AJCC 8th Ed.)]
Enzyme Kinetics	NCIT_C20626	[A subdiscipline of Kinetics that studies the rates and mechanics of enzymes and enzyme-driven reactions.]
Kinetics	NCIT_C16770	[Kinetics is the branch of mechanics concerned with the forces that cause motions of bodies and govern the rates at which molecules and compounds react.]
Linker-Scanning Mutagenesis	NCIT_C20627	[In vitro mutagenesis procedure in which molecules containing 3' and 5' deletion mutations are combined to regenerate an entire DNA region, differing with the wild type molecule only at the junction of the molecules, which contains a linker DNA.]
Mutagenesis	NCIT_C17376	[Production of genetic alterations by any technique, including chemicals, radiation, recombination, or other molecular biology methods.]
Melanin	NCIT_C631
Silent Mutation	NCIT_C20629	[A point mutation occurring within the protein-coding region of a gene, and which codes for the same amino acid as expected.]
Point Mutation	NCIT_C62200	[A small-scale mutation in which a single nucleotide is exchanged for another. Mutagenic chemicals and mistakes in DNA replication may result in point mutations.]
Somatic Cell Hybridization	NCIT_C20622	[Fusion of 2 somatic cells to form a heterokaryon.]
Cell Fusion	NCIT_C16401	[A technique to form a single hybrid cell, by fusion of two or more dissimilar cells, either spontaneously or by induced fusion. The cells fuse and coalesce, but their nuclei may remain separated. The cell fusion technique can be used as a method of assigning genes to specific chromosomes.]
Immunobiology	NCIT_C20623	[The study of the immune factors that affect the functioning of the human body]
Physiology	NCIT_C16990	[The study of the mechanical, physical, and biochemical functions of living organisms.]
Lip and Oral Cavity Cancer Pathologic TNM Finding v8	NCIT_C132690	[A pathologic finding about one or more characteristics of lip and oral cavity cancer, following the rules of the TNM AJCC v8 classification system. The pathologic staging is determined after the complete resection of the primary site and/or regional nodal dissection, followed by pathologic examination of the resected specimen(s). (from AJCC 8th Ed.)]
Head and Neck Cancer Pathologic TNM Finding v8	NCIT_C132642	[A pathologic finding about one or more characteristics of head and neck cancer, following the rules of the TNM AJCC v8 classification system.]
Lip and Oral Cavity Cancer TNM Finding v8	NCIT_C132688	[A finding about one or more characteristics of lip and oral cavity cancer, following the rules of the TNM AJCC v8 classification system. Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma of the vermilion lip, nonepithelial tumors such as those of lymphoid tissue, soft tissue, bone, cartilage, and mucosal melanoma are not included in this classification. (from AJCC 8th Ed.)]
