disease #

The concept we in BEACH refer to as “disease” is identifiable through shortcode ncit:C2926.
In standard vocabularies this shortcode refers to “Lung Non-Small Cell Carcinoma” and is defined as “A group of at least three distinct histological types of lung cancer, including non-small cell squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, and large cell carcinoma. Non-small cell lung carcinomas have a poor response to conventional chemotherapy.”
