License seems unclear to me, so comparison with other options isn’t possible.

If its license suits you, I would _guess_ MeSH (https://www.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/meshhome.html) would give you a better list. Reading https://www.nlm.nih.gov/research/umls/sourcereleasedocs/inde... there’s a 2022A French version, so it seems maintained.

The UMLS metathesaurus (https://www.nlm.nih.gov/research/umls/knowledge_sources/meta...) may have more data sets with suitable licenses.

For example, they have a recent MEDDRA in French (again, licenses may not suit you, but comparison with this data set isn’t possible)

License is WTFPL
I sent a message on Twitter asking him a bit more information about his license. (I'm working on a similar project to translate Ukrainian medial terms to French and English)

Alternate word list (albeit EN only) is this one: https://github.com/glutanimate/wordlist-medicalterms-en
The particularity of this project is the use of Wikidata datas from the SPARQL query language.
aw, "phage therapy" isn't on the list...
I've recently update this project for "Phage Therapy" keywords.
What is this data for?
