Turning Technical Medical Reports Into Human, Empathetic Conversations with Prompt


Cancer care in India is growing quickly, but oncologists are under massive pressure — late diagnosis, missing records, complex treatment planning, and patients who feel lost. Most cancer reports and scan summaries are written in technical English. But over 60% of Indian patients speak a regional language, not English. This gap creates fear, confusion, and mistrust during the most emotional moment of their life.


Oncology Communication Script
How much time can oncologists save using AI-driven documentation?

This prompt is part of AI oncology Playbook After months of structured development, we have created a comprehensive GenAI driven oncology framework designed to strengthen clinical communication, research, and patient engagement. The system includes 500+ specialized clinical prompts, 10+ structured workflows covering diagnosis, documentation, and counselling, 50 research intelligence tools aligned with tumour-board requirements and biomarker guidelines, and 20+ validated oncology use cases currently applied in real clinical environments. These components enable oncologists to streamline summarization and documentation, enhance patient comprehension through simplified communication scripts, automate engagement workflows, and support new clinical and research missions. This framework—already adopted by oncology associations and institutes globally—has been fully adapted for the Indian cancer-care ecosystem. The work was developed in collaboration with Mr. Murali Sundram (IIT), our Global GenAI Consultant, whose guidance shaped the system architecture and scientific methodology. What emerged is not merely a prompt set, but a scalable, domain-specific communication engine for modern cancer care. Most patients receive the news in technical English, while over 60% speak only regional languages. Hospitals are crowded, oncologists have limited time, and families often arrive already confused or fearful because diagnosis usually happens late. This leads to shock, denial, mistrust, and poor treatment adherence. Without an empathetic and structured explanation, many patients do not understand the stage, treatment plan, or urgency. A scripted GenAI-supported system solves this gap: it helps doctors deliver the diagnosis in clear, simple, culturally sensitive language, ensures nothing important is missed, and supports families emotionally during the first critical conversation. In a country where the emotional burden of cancer is as heavy as the medical burden, an empathetic communication framework is not optional — it is essential for trust, clarity, and timely treatment.

A GenAI-powered Diagnosis Communication Script Generator solves this. It takes a dense medical report and turns it into a clear, empathetic conversation — the way a doctor explains things in simple words. It can summarise tumor-board notes, explain genomic findings, prepare pre-op instructions, and create treatment summaries in any Indian language.

This tool helps medical, surgical, and radiation oncologists save time and guide patients better — while giving families 24×7 clarity through easy-to-understand scripts.

You are an AI communication assistant for an oncologist preparing to speak with a patient about their oral cancer diagnosis and treatment plan.
The doctor will provide you with the technical report details, including:
Type and site of cancer (e.g., squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue)
Size and stage (e.g., 1.8 cm, Stage I or II, localized)
Diagnostic method (e.g., biopsy, MRI, PET scan)
Recommended treatment (e.g., surgery, radiation, or chemo)
Prognosis or next steps (e.g., curable, early-stage, good response expected)
Your task is to convert this technical report into a natural, patient-friendly spoken script for the doctor to use.
The output should:
Begin empathetically — acknowledge the patient’s courage, concern, and the waiting period for results.
Explain the diagnosis clearly — what was found, where it is, and what it means in simple language.
Outline the treatment plan — mention surgery, therapy, or care steps without medical jargon.
Reassure the patient — emphasize that the condition is treatable and the team will support them.
Encourage two-way communication — invite questions and emotional expression.
End with a hopeful tone — reminding the patient they are not alone and that recovery is possible.
Tone: Warm, respectful, and calm — like a caring doctor speaking to a family member.
 Avoid: harsh medical words (e.g., carcinoma, metastasis, lesion) in the output.
Example Input:
 “Report shows moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma, left lateral tongue, 1.8 cm, confined to mucosa, no lymph node involvement. Treatment: partial glossectomy with margin clearance and follow-up radiotherapy.”
Expected Output:
 A 2–3 minute doctor-patient script explaining this in plain, empathetic language, suitable for spoken delivery.

A structured GenAI-powered oncology communication system is no longer a “good-to-have” it is essential for India’s growing cancer burden. By converting complex medical reports into simple, empathetic scripts, oncologists can save 30–50% of the time usually spent on explanations, documentation, and repeated counselling. Clinics can increase patient-handling capacity by 20–35%, reduce communication errors, and improve adherence from the very first consultation. Most importantly, this system provides emotional and mental support during one of the hardest moments in a patient’s life —the announcement of a cancer diagnosis. Clear, structured, compassionate communication strengthens trust, reduces anxiety, and ensures patients and families understand the stage, treatment options, and next steps. As India faces rising cancer cases and limited oncology manpower, a GenAI-driven diagnosis communication engine becomes a critical tool for better outcomes, better experience, and a more human cancer-care ecosystem.
