"... In retrieving medical free text, users are often interested in answers pertinent to certain scenarios that correspond to common tasks performed in medical practice, e.g., treatment ordiagnosis of a disease. A major challenge in handling such queries is that scenario terms in the query (e.g. treatmen ..."

On the OHSUMED testbed, for example, the improvement is more than 5 % averaging over all scenario-specific queries studied and about 10 % for queries that mention certain scenarios, such astreatment of a disease anddifferential
ABSTRACT Knowledge-Based Query Expansion to Support Scenario-Specific Retrieval of Medical Free Text
"...

Consequently, the queries they pose are often scenario-specific, e.g., “lung cancer, tr ..."

on the OHSUMED testbed shows that the knowledge-based method which results in scenario-specific expansion is able to improve more than 5 % over the statistical method on average, and about 10 % for queries that mention certain scenarios, such as “treatment of a disease ” and “differential diagnosis of a symptom/disease.”
