Causal inference for oncology: past developments and current challenges

Abstract: In this paper, we review some important early developments on causal inference in medical statistics and epidemiology that were inspired by questions in oncology. We examine two classical examples from the literature and point to a current area of ongoing methodological development, namely the estimation of optimal adaptive treatment strategies. While causal approaches to analysis have become more routine in oncology research, many exciting challenges and open problems remain, particularly in the context of censored outcomes.
