Template Preview
Patient: [Patient name] | DOB: [Date of birth] | MRN: [Medical record number] | Course ID/Name: [Course identifier/name] | Treating Facility: [Facility name] | Diagnosis: [Primary cancer with laterality] | Attending Physician: [Attending radiation oncologist] | Note Date: [Note date]
Care Team/Copies to: [Referring clinician]; [Medical oncologist]; [Surgeon]; [Primary care clinician] (List as applicable; if any identifier is unavailable, insert bracketed placeholder indicating reconciliation needed before finalizing.)
Indication / Diagnosis / Intent
[Primary diagnosis and histology relevant to the RT course]. [Disease site(s), laterality, and involved regions]. [Stage or risk group if documented; if unknown, state: "Stage: Not documented in radiation record."]. [Disease status at RT start: definitive / postoperative / recurrent / oligometastatic / palliative]. [Treatment intent: curative / adjuvant / neoadjuvant / palliative / bridging]. [Goal statement tied to indication]. (3–6 sentence narrative. Do not infer staging or details not present in the record.)
Radiation Treatment Delivered
Course dates: [Start date] to [End date] | Elapsed days: [Number] | Fractions: [Planned] / [Delivered] | Status: [Completed as prescribed / Completed with modification / Discontinued early — reason]
Sites / Dose Levels
| Anatomic Site/Target (with laterality) | Target Volume(s) | Modality | Technique | Dose/Fx | Fx Planned/Delivered | Total Dose Planned/Delivered | Dates | Schedule | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| [Site/target (laterality)] | [Target volume(s)] | [Photon / Electron / Proton / Brachytherapy] | [3D-CRT / IMRT / VMAT / SBRT / SRS / Adaptive] | [Dose per fraction] | [Planned] / [Delivered] | [Planned] / [Delivered] | [Start – End] | [Daily M–F / BID / Weekly] | [IGRT, motion management, or replan notes if clinically significant] |
(Add rows for each dose level/phase/target. Use consistent units [Gy or cGy] throughout. If delivered dose data are missing, flag for reconciliation from OIS before signing; do not substitute planned values. For brachytherapy, include total brachytherapy dose and combined EBRT + brachytherapy dose if applicable.)
Treatment Interruptions / Deviations
[None / Interruptions occurred as follows:]
- [Date range]: [Reason — toxicity / machine downtime / hospitalization / nonadherence / other]; [Compensatory changes if any]; [Clinical impact]
(Include bullet list only if interruptions occurred; otherwise state "Treatment interruptions: None.")
Concurrent / Sequential Therapy
- [Agent/regimen]: [Start date] to [End date relative to RT]; [Held or modified due to toxicity: details if applicable]
- (If managed externally) Concurrent systemic therapy managed externally; regimen details not available in radiation record.
(Include this section only if systemic therapy or major supportive interventions occurred during RT; omit entirely if none.)
Tolerance / Acute Toxicities
[Global tolerance statement, e.g., "Patient completed treatment with expected grade 1–2 acute toxicities" or "Treatment complicated by..."]. Grading scale: [CTCAE v5.0 / CTCAE v6.0 / Institutional scale].
- Dermatitis/Skin: [Grade], [Time course], [Management], [Status at end of treatment]
- Mucositis: [Grade], [Time course], [Management], [Status]
- GI: [Grade], [Time course], [Management], [Status]
- GU: [Grade], [Time course], [Management], [Status]
- Fatigue: [Grade], [Time course], [Management], [Status]
- Pain: [Grade], [Time course], [Management], [Status]
- Hematologic: [Grade], [Time course], [Management], [Status]
- Neurologic: [Grade], [Time course], [Management], [Status]
- Pulmonary: [Grade], [Time course], [Management], [Status]
(Include only domains relevant to the treated site. If no significant toxicities: "Acute toxicities: None beyond expected grade 0–1 effects." Note limitations if on-treatment visit data are incomplete.)
Response / Status at End of RT
- Clinical/symptom response: [Description, especially for palliative courses]
- Radiographic response: [Findings if imaging performed during RT]
- Performance status: [Scale and score if tracked]
(If not yet assessable: "Tumor response not yet assessable; evaluation planned at follow-up imaging." Include this section only when response is evaluable or symptom assessment is relevant.)
Follow-Up Plan
- Radiation oncology follow-up: [Timing and purpose]
- Imaging plan: [Modality, timing, indication]
- Medical oncology: [Follow-up timing]
- Surgical oncology: [Follow-up if applicable]
- Supportive care referrals: [Nutrition / Speech-swallow / Wound care / Pain-palliative / PT-OT / Dental as applicable]
- Late effects counseling: [Expected toxicity trajectory and monitoring]
- Return precautions: [Urgent symptoms warranting earlier contact or ED evaluation]
(If follow-up will occur outside institution, document handoff expectations. Use bracketed placeholder if timing undecided.)
Copies / Communication
Summary sent to: [Referring physician, PCP, medical oncology, others as applicable].
Electronically signed by: [Attending physician name, credentials]
Date/Time: [Date and time]
(If scribe-assisted, clinician signature indicates review and verification.)
