Summary

A benchmark aligned radiology, pathology and genomics across 9,281 TCGA cases.

OncoTriad-QA contains 86,100 questions across 32 cancer cohorts and joins imaging, whole-slide pathology, molecular profiles and clinical metadata. The authors report that existing general and medical models struggled most when questions required evidence across modalities; their fine-tuned reference model improved benchmark scores. The dataset is for model evaluation, not diagnosis or patient care.
