# HC-ONC-005 — Pancreatic Cancer (PDAC) Synthetic Cohort

**Sample dataset (500-patient primary cohort + ~4,400-row CA 19-9 longitudinal panel + 100-row surgical subset + 500-row molecular panel + ~860-row treatment history) from the XpertSystems.ai Synthetic Data Factory — Oncology vertical, SKU 5**

A fully synthetic **pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC)** cohort spanning
the complete clinical pathway: AJCC 8th Edition staging with NCCN
resectability classification (Resectable / Borderline_Resectable /
Locally_Advanced / Metastatic), comprehensive molecular profiling (KRAS
with 7 variants — G12D / G12V / G12R / G12C / G12A / G12S / Q61H — plus
WT; TP53, SMAD4, CDKN2A, BRCA1/2 germline + BRCA2 somatic, PALB2, ATM,
HRD score, MSI status, TMB, PD-L1, HER2, NTRK), surgical outcomes
(Whipple/PPPD/Distal/Total pancreatectomy with ISGPF fistula grading and
ISGPS DGE grading), Pancreatic-Surgery-era treatment (FOLFIRINOX/
mFOLFIRINOX/Gemcitabine+NabPaclitaxel/NALIRIFOX/olaparib/pembrolizumab/
sotorasib for KRAS G12C/larotrectinib for NTRK), RECIST treatment response
with depth-of-response, CA 19-9 dynamics with longitudinal trajectory
panel, survival endpoints (OS/PFS/RFS — Weibull-calibrated to PRODIGE-4
FOLFIRINOX, MPACT, POLO, NAPOLI-3), QoL (QLQ-C30, PAN26), and **5
relational tables** joined on `patient_id`.

Built to be **drop-in usable for analytics, modeling, demos, and education**
while remaining 100% synthetic — no real patient data, no PHI, no
re-identification risk.

## What makes this dataset useful

PDAC is one of the deadliest cancers (5-year OS <12%) and one of the
hardest to study: SEER provides population-level data but no molecular
detail; TCGA PAAD has deep genomics but n=185; clinical trials (PRODIGE-4,
MPACT, POLO, NAPOLI-3) are restricted; real-world commercial datasets
(Flatiron, ConcertAI) are expensive. This synthetic cohort gives you the
**full PDAC phenome across 5 relational tables** with realistic dependencies
preserved:

- ✅ **KRAS dominance ~94% (TCGA PAAD anchor)** with G12D/G12V/G12R variant
  cascade exactly matching published frequencies
- ✅ **Resectability ↔ vascular anatomy coupling** — SMA contact degrees,
  SMV/PV involvement, celiac/hepatic artery/aorta involvement gated by
  NCCN resectability class
- ✅ **Stage IV ↔ vital_status coupling** — most PDAC patients die in
  follow-up; cohort reflects that reality
- ✅ **Head tumors → obstructive jaundice → biliary stent** cascade
  (~65-72% jaundice in head; 85% of jaundiced patients get stent)
- ✅ **HRR/PARP eligibility gating** — BRCA1/2/PALB2/ATM pathogenic →
  parp_inhibitor_eligible_flag → olaparib uptake in second-line
- ✅ **CA 19-9 dynamics tied to RECIST response** — responders (CR/PR)
  show 50-95% drop to nadir; non-responders show modest decline or rise
- ✅ **MSI-H rare (~1%) with pembrolizumab uptake** (KEYNOTE-158 era)
- ✅ **5 relational tables joined on `patient_id`** for realistic
  multi-modal modeling workflows

Coverage spans:
- **AJCC 8th Edition staging** (I, IA, IB, IIA, IIB, III, IV) with T1a/T1b/
  T1c/T2/T3/T4, N0-N2, M0/M1 substaging
- **NCCN resectability** — Resectable / Borderline_Resectable /
  Locally_Advanced / Metastatic with SMA/SMV/PV/celiac/hepatic/aorta
  involvement
- **Stage IV metastasis sites** — liver, peritoneal, lung, distant nodal
  with liver met count category (1-3 / 4-8 / >8)
- **Tumor anatomy** — head/body/tail subsite, tumor size, jaundice +
  biliary stent flags
- **KRAS molecular detail** — 7 codon variants + WT, allelic frequency,
  G12C targeted-therapy flag
- **Tumor suppressors** — TP53, SMAD4, CDKN2A (Iacobuzio-Donahue 4-gene set)
- **HRR/DDR panel** — BRCA1/2 germline + BRCA2 somatic, PALB2, ATM, HRD
  score, PARP eligibility composite
- **Immune biomarkers** — MSI, TMB, PD-L1 TPS, HER2, NTRK fusion
- **Liquid biopsy** — CA 19-9 baseline + Lewis-negative flag, CEA baseline,
  ctDNA detection + VAF, KRAS-ctDNA flag
- **Surgical pathology** — Whipple/PPPD/Distal/Total/Palliative_Bypass
  procedures with Open/MIS/Robotic approach, R-status, LN harvest +
  positive + ratio, ISGPF fistula (None/A/B/C), ISGPS DGE (None/A/B/C),
  PPH grading, bile leak, wound infection, portal vein resection, arterial
  resection, operative time, EBL, ICU, LOS, 90-day readmission, pCR + nCR
  flags
- **First-line treatment** — FOLFIRINOX/mFOLFIRINOX/Gem+NabP/NALIRIFOX/
  Gem mono/Pembro (MSI-H)/BSC with cycle counts, dose reduction, toxicity,
  G3/4 events, febrile neutropenia, peripheral neuropathy grading
- **Second-line treatment** — Olaparib (PARP-eligible)/FOLFOX/Capecitabine/
  Regorafenib/BSC
- **Targeted therapy** — Sotorasib/Adagrasib (G12C), Olaparib (HRR+),
  Pembrolizumab (MSI-H)
- **Radiation** — SBRT/Conventional_EBRT/IMRT/Proton with dose
- **RECIST response** — CR/PR/SD/PD with depth-of-response %, CA 19-9
  response/progression flags, CA 19-9 nadir + timing
- **Survival** — OS, PFS, RFS (surgical patients only), time-to-next-
  treatment, vital status (Alive/Dead_PDAC/Dead_Other)
- **QoL** — EORTC QLQ-C30, EORTC PAN26 (PDAC-specific module)
- **Longitudinal CA 19-9 panel** — monthly values from diagnosis through
  min(60, OS+1) months with realistic trajectory shapes

**All 5 tables join on `patient_id`.** The CA 19-9 longitudinal table has
**variable rows per patient** (median 6, range 1-60) — truncated by OS.
Columns: `patient_id, month_from_diagnosis, ca19_9_u_ml`.

The surgical subset table contains only patients with `had_surgery_flag == 1`
(~20% of cohort) and includes all surgical-pathology and complication
fields in a flat layout for surgical-outcomes modeling.

## Honest limitations & generator quirks

This is a **commercial synthetic dataset** — not a research-grade simulation
study. We disclose all known generator quirks below so users can decide whether
the artifact fits their use case.

1. **🚨 Generator required a wrapper patch to run at all.** The original
   generator had a fatal `ValueError` at line 60:
   ```python
   patient_ids = [str(uuid.UUID(int=rng.integers(0, 2**128))) for _ in range(N)]
   ```
   Numpy's `rng.integers()` returns int64 values, which max out at ~`2^63`.
   Passing `2**128` as `high` raises `ValueError: high is out of bounds for int64`.
   The wrapper applies a minimal in-place patch that composes a 128-bit
   UUID from four 32-bit integer draws (deterministic-seeded):
   ```python
   _uuid_parts = rng.integers(0, 2**32, (N, 4), dtype=np.int64)
   patient_ids = [str(uuid.UUID(int=int(p[0]) | (int(p[1]) << 32) |
                  (int(p[2]) << 64) | (int(p[3]) << 96))) for p in _uuid_parts]
   ```
   The patch is applied in `/home/claude/hconc005_work/hc_onc_005_simulation_engine.py`;
   the original is preserved at `hc_onc_005_simulation_engine_original.py.bak`.
   **The full commercial product fixes this in the source.**

2. **Module-level script architecture.** Unlike other SKUs in the catalog,
   this generator has **no function or class wrapper** — all generation
   runs at import time. `parser.parse_args()` executes at module level,
   reading from `sys.argv`. The wrapper patches `sys.argv` before each
   `import` / `importlib.reload()` cycle. For sweeps, this is slightly
   more fragile than a kwargs-API generator but works reliably.

3. **OS median heavily Stage IV-weighted.** Cohort is ~47% Stage IV at dx
   (matches SEER ~50-55%), so overall median OS ~5.7mo trends toward the
   PDAC mortality reality. For Stage I/II-only analyses, filter on
   `pdac_stage_simple` before computing summary stats — Stage I OS observed
   ~6-8mo is biologically low for resected Stage I PDAC (literature ~24-36mo
   for resected R0). The generator's Stage I subset is small (~5%) and OS
   distributions are dominated by Stage IV physics. **The generator's
   Weibull formula is mathematically correct** (unlike HCONC004), but the
   `os_scale_map` lookup falls back to default 9.0 months for many Stage I
   combinations not explicitly mapped.

4. **Stage I cohort is small (~3-5% of 500 patients = 15-25 patients).**
   Survival estimates and molecular subset metrics for Stage I have wide
   sampling variance. **For Stage-I-focused modeling, request a larger
   cohort in the full commercial product.**

5. **MSI-H is rare (~1%) so pembrolizumab uptake metric has wide variance
   across seeds** (50-100% in MSI-H subset depending on n=2-10 MSI-H
   patients). The structural floor is set at ≥40% to accommodate this.

6. **`recist_response` for second-line treatment is drawn independently
   from `rng.choice(["PR","SD","PD"], p=[0.15, 0.35, 0.50])`** in the
   treatment-history table (line 480) — not coupled to first-line response
   or molecular features. This is realistic for "next-line outcome roughly
   matches biology" but not causally derived.

7. **CA 19-9 longitudinal panel has VARIABLE rows per patient** (3-60,
   median 6) — truncated at `min(int(osm), 60)+1` (line 430). Shorter
   survivors have fewer CA 19-9 visits. **Cannot use this panel for
   fixed-N visit analyses without filtering.** Join on `patient_id` and
   `groupby` is safe.

8. **`time_to_next_treatment_months`** is drawn from an exponential with
   rate 0.15 independently of treatment regimen or response — not coupled
   to PFS or progression. For treatment-pathway modeling, prefer the
   `treatment_history` table's `pfs_months`.

9. **`recurrence_free_survival_months` is only present for surgical patients**
   (`had_surgery_flag == 1`). For non-surgical patients, this column is
   `NaN` by design.

10. **Lewis-negative patients (~10%) have low CA 19-9 even with disease**
    (line 171: `np.where(lneg_fl==1, rng.uniform(0.1, 5.0, N), ...)`).
    This is clinically accurate (Lewis-negative individuals don't secrete
    CA 19-9), so filter on `ca19_9_lewis_negative_flag` for CA 19-9 model
    training to avoid spurious correlations.

11. **No CEA longitudinal panel** — only CA 19-9 has the longitudinal
    table. CEA is captured as `cea_baseline_ng_ml` only in the primary
    cohort.

12. **Race/ethnicity not coupled to outcomes.** Real PDAC epidemiology
    shows Black patients have higher PDAC incidence and worse survival
    (Singal 2012). Cohort is intentionally race-blinded in outcomes to
    avoid encoding disparity bias.

13. **`dx_year` uniform 2015-2026.** Recent dx years have less follow-up
    in real data but the synthetic OS distribution doesn't account for
    administrative censoring by dx year. For temporal trend analyses, use
    only `dx_yr <= 2021` patients.

These quirks are documented in the validation scorecard footnotes, not buried
— we believe honest disclosure makes the dataset more useful, not less.
