NCI Thesaurus

The NCI Thesaurus is a comprehensive, standardized vocabulary developed by the National Cancer Institute to categorize and organize terms related to cancer, medicine, and biology. It helps healthcare professionals, researchers, and data systems communicate clearly by providing consistent names and relationships for complex scientific concepts. Think of it as a specialized, shared dictionary that makes it easier to search, analyze, and share information about diseases, treatments, and scientific knowledge in oncology and biomedical fields.
