We study heterogeneous treatment-effect (HTE) estimation in observational survival studies commonly associated with both censored outcomes and unmeasured confounding. We integrate causal survival forests (CSF) with negative controls (NC) from proximal causal inference and introduce Negative Control Causal Survival Forests (NC-CSF), a flexible nonparametric HTE learner for survival analysis. Our approach uses a loss that incorporates proxy variables and Neyman orthogonalization to train the random forest, thereby mitigating bias from unobserved confounding and gaining robustness to nuisance estimation. Through extensive simulations spanning varying levels of confounding, proxy relevance, and censoring mechanisms, we demonstrate that NC-CSF substantially reduces bias and estimation error relative to existing baselines. We further demonstrate the practical utility of our method on various clinical datasets, where it confirms several existing findings and also reveals new interpretable patterns of treatment-effect heterogeneity. To facilitate practical use, we provide an end-to-end Python implementation of NC-CSF that carefully handles implementation details such as nuisance estimation and clipping.
