UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007938	Leukemia	A progressive, malignant disease of the blood-forming organs, characterized by distorted proliferation and development of leukocytes and their precursors in the blood and bone marrow. Leukemias were originally termed acute or chronic based on life expectancy but now are classified according to cellular maturity. Acute leukemias consist of predominately immature cells; chronic leukemias are composed of more mature cells.

D015251	Epirubicin	An anthracycline which is the 4'-epi-isomer of doxorubicin. The compound exerts its antitumor effects by interference with the synthesis and function of DNA.	4'-Epiadriamycin,4'-Epidoxorubicin,4'-Epi-Adriamycin,4'-Epi-DXR,4'-Epi-Doxorubicin,EPI-cell,Ellence,Epilem,Epirubicin Hydrochloride,Farmorubicin,Farmorubicina,Farmorubicine,IMI-28,NSC-256942,Pharmorubicin,4' Epi Adriamycin,4' Epi DXR,4' Epi Doxorubicin,4' Epiadriamycin,4' Epidoxorubicin,EPI cell,EPIcell,Hydrochloride, Epirubicin,IMI 28,IMI28,NSC 256942,NSC256942
D016609	Neoplasms, Second Primary	Abnormal growths of tissue that follow a previous neoplasm but are not metastases of the latter. The second neoplasm may have the same or different histological type and can occur in the same or different organs as the previous neoplasm but in all cases arises from an independent oncogenic event. The development of the second neoplasm may or may not be related to the treatment for the previous neoplasm since genetic risk or predisposing factors may actually be the cause.
