AI Medical Scribe for

Surgical Oncologists

New cancer diagnoses, tumor board decisions, and long emotional consults — each visit produces a note dense with staging, pathology, and treatment sequencing. Medical Scribe drafts it from the conversation so you can keep your eyes on the patient, not the screen.

Sample note

What your notes will look like

A real example of the documentation Medical Scribe generates for surgical oncologists — ready before your patient leaves the room.

Oncology Surgical Consult Ready to copy

Subjective

61F referred after screening mammogram and core biopsy: invasive ductal carcinoma of the left breast, ER/PR positive, HER2 negative, grade 2, 1.8cm on imaging. No palpable mass noticed by patient; no nipple discharge or skin changes. No prior cancers. Mother had breast cancer at 70. Takes atorvastatin 20mg daily; never-smoker. Anxious but accompanied by daughter; primary concern is 'getting it out quickly.'

Objective

  • Left breast: no skin dimpling or nipple retraction; biopsy site upper outer quadrant, no palpable dominant mass
  • Axilla: no palpable lymphadenopathy bilaterally
  • MRI breast: single 1.9cm lesion, no multicentric disease; staging consistent with cT1cN0M0

Assessment & Plan

  • Early-stage ER+/HER2- invasive ductal carcinoma, clinically node negative — candidate for breast conservation
  • Recommend left lumpectomy with sentinel lymph node biopsy; mastectomy discussed as alternative, not oncologically required
  • Adjuvant radiation expected after breast conservation; referral to radiation oncology placed
  • Case listed for multidisciplinary tumor board this week; genetic counseling referral given family history
  • Surgery targeted within 4 weeks; pre-op bloods and anesthesia review arranged

Additional Notes

Long discussion of breast conservation vs mastectomy, including equivalent survival with radiation, margin re-excision possibility (~10-15%), and sentinel node rationale. Daughter's questions about recovery time answered. Patient elects lumpectomy with SLNB; written consent to follow at pre-op visit after tumor board confirmation.

Illustrative example. Every note is fully editable, and you control the format — SOAP, DAP, or your own custom template.

Cancer surgery consults are the hardest visits to document well

Every note carries the whole cancer story

Diagnosis, biopsy pathology, receptor status, staging workup, prior treatments, tumor board recommendation — each consult note has to restate the oncologic picture accurately, because the whole multidisciplinary team works from it.

These conversations deserve full attention

Telling a patient about a new malignancy, or weighing mastectomy against breast conservation, is not a visit to spend typing. But the longer and more emotional the consult, the more there is to document afterward.

Treatment sequencing changes visit to visit

Neoadjuvant response, restaging scans, surgical timing, adjuvant handoffs — the plan is a moving target across months. Notes that lag behind clinic leave the medical oncologist and radiation oncologist reading stale plans.

Built for the multidisciplinary rhythm of cancer surgery

A surgical oncology patient moves between your clinic, tumor board, medical oncology, and radiation — and your note is the connective tissue. Medical Scribe records each consult, in person or telehealth, and drafts a note carrying diagnosis, staging discussion, and sequencing decisions forward accurately, while the visit itself stays a conversation.

The Surgical oncologist’s note, end to end

Generated notes follow the template’s structure: Subjective with the cancer diagnosis, prior treatments, and review of systems; Objective covering examination of primary and nodal sites plus investigations; and an Assessment & Plan spanning cancer status, the proposed operation, supportive care, referrals, and follow-up and monitoring — with goals-of-care discussions preserved in Additional Notes.

Precision where errors are unforgivable

A transposed receptor status or an invented staging detail in an oncology note can misdirect an entire treatment plan. Medical Scribe documents only what was actually said and observed — nothing inferred, nothing fabricated — and every note passes through your review and signature before the team relies on it.

Frequently asked questions

Can it keep pathology and staging details straight — receptor status, grade, TNM?

It documents those details exactly as stated in the visit — 'ER/PR positive, HER2 negative, grade 2, cT1cN0M0' — in the Subjective and Objective sections of the built-in Surgical oncologist's note. It never fills in staging or pathology you didn't say, which is precisely what you want in an oncology chart.

Do tumor board recommendations and referrals make it into the note?

Yes, when they're discussed in the visit. The template's Assessment & Plan covers treatment sequencing, referrals, clinical trial involvement, and follow-up and surveillance scheduling — so the handoffs to medical and radiation oncology are on paper, not in hallway conversation.

Is recording appropriate for breaking bad news?

That's your call, patient by patient, with consent as you would for any scribe. Many surgeons find these are exactly the visits where full presence matters most — and where patients later appreciate a thorough note of what was explained. Recordings are HIPAA compliant and encrypted in transit and at rest.

Does it also cover my post-op and surveillance visits?

Yes. A post-lumpectomy margin discussion or an annual surveillance visit generates a proportionate note from the same template — one of 280+ built in, alongside dedicated breast surgeon and oncologist notes. You review and sign every note before it enters the chart.
