Researchers have developed OncoSynth, a new machine learning framework designed to generate synthetic oncology patient data. This framework addresses the limitations of existing methods by preserving causal relationships between patient characteristics, treatments, and outcomes, which is crucial for accurate treatment effect estimation. Evaluations on large lung and breast cancer cohorts demonstrate that OncoSynth produces high-fidelity synthetic data, significantly improving the accuracy of both population-level (up to 66% reduction in error) and patient-level (up to 58% reduction in error) treatment effect estimations, thereby supporting evidence generation in data-restricted settings.
