Thanks Tim. It looks like "generic" does make the attempt, and for most of
this it is close.
83 y.o. Asian gentleman who is status post a robotic-assisted radical
prostatectomy in October of 2006 for pathologic stage T2c, Gleason 4+3 prostate
cancer excised with a negative surgical margin but benign glands at the margin.

I think this case might be covered by the "generic" status classifier from the
assertion module? It distinguishes generic mentions of an event from actual
mentions (generic covering both discussions and other things like "she knows
chemotherapy causes side effects" where neither entity is actual yet). That is
part of a default pipeline but it is harder than negation or uncertainty. You
can try it and see whether it works well enough on your data to be useful.

Hi Sangram,
I would love to say that I have a simple answer for you, but I don't. There is
an engine that will attempt to identify events as hedged, hypothetical, actual
or generic ... the ContextualModalityAnnotator in the ctakes-temporal module.
However, it is not in the commonly used pipelines, and I have no idea how well
it works. It is possible that somebody else out there is using this annotator
to great success or at least knows more about it than I.

Many thanks, Sean!
I have patient-clinical-notes e.g.
- 83 y.o. Asian gentleman who is status post a robotic-assisted radical
prostatectomy in October of 2006 for pathologic stage T2c, Gleason 4+3
prostate cancer excised with a negative surgical margin but benign glands
at the margin.
- The patient is a 73-year-old Caucasian gentleman who is status post
radical
prostatectomy in 2006.
- Greater than 30 minutes of face to face discussion time were spent
discussing the prostate gland, prostate diseases and prostate cancer. We
discussed
open radical prostatectomy, daVinci prostatectomy, external beam
radiation, brachytherapy, cryotherapy, androgen deprivation, watchful
waiting and HIFU.
- We discussed different treatment options for prostate cancer. We
discussed non-curative options including active surveillance and hormone
therapy. We also discussed potentially curative options including surgery
versus radiation and cryotherapy.
The note gets annotated using clinical pipeline -
AggregatePlaintextFastUMLSProcessor.
By searching keyword I can find a treatment. sometimes physician writes about
the discussion and sometime the actual surgery. Now I have problem to finalise
if the mentioned procedure/treatment is really happened or just discussed. I
can't just rely on verb in the sentence.
Your help would help me a lot!
