In this manuscript, we describe our submission to the RR-TNM subtask of NTCIR-17 MedNLP-SC shared task. We took an approach to create extensive question-and-answer (Q&A) pairs related to TNM classification as a method of domain-specific augmentation. Compared to the result without data augmentation, improvement in the accuracy especially for the M stage was observed.
