| NEA | neoplasm embryonic antigen; no evidence of abnormality |

| Neo | neomycin; neoplasm or neoplastic |
| PBN | paralytic brachial neuritis; peripheral benign neoplasm; polymyxin B sulfate, bacitracin, and neomyc... |
| SMN | second malignant neoplasm; stathmin |
| VAIN | vaginal intraepithelial neoplasm |
| neoplasm staging | Methods which attempt to express in replicable terms the extent of the neoplasm in the patient. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| DNA, neoplasm | DNA present in neoplastic tissue. (12 Dec 1998) |
| drug resistance, neoplasm | Resistance or diminished response of a neoplasm to an antineoplastic agent in humans, animals, or cell or tissue cultures. (12 Dec 1998) |
| bone marrow transplantation | <oncology, procedure> Treatment in which healthy bone marrow replaces bone marrow that has been affected by a disease or by treatment for a disease. Acronym: BMT (12 May 1997) |
| bone transplantation | The grafting of bone from a donor site to a recipient site. (12 Dec 1998) |
| brain tissue transplantation | Transference of brain tissue, either from a foetus or from a born individual, between individuals of the same species or between individuals of different species. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cardiopulmonary transplantation | The simultaneous, or near simultaneous, transference of heart and lungs from one human or animal to another. (12 Dec 1998) |

| peripheral blood stem cell transplantation | A procedure that is similar to bone marrow transplantation. Doctors remove healthy immature cells (stem cells) from a patient's blood and store them before the patient receives high-dose chemotherapy and possibly radiation therapy to destroy the leukaemia cells. The stem cells are then returned to the patient, where they can produce new blood cells to replace cells destroyed by the treatment. (12 Dec 1998) |

| haematopoietic stem cell transplantation | The transference of stem cells from one animal or human to another (allogeneic), or within the same individual (autologous). The source for the stem cells may be the bone marrow or peripheral blood. Stem cell transplantation has been used as an alternative to autologous bone marrow transplantation in the treatment of a variety of neoplasms. (12 Dec 1998) |
| heart-lung transplantation | The simultaneous, or near simultaneous, transference of heart and lungs from one human or animal to another. (12 Dec 1998) |
