                                Proton and carbon ion therapy – an update on indications

                                Worldwide, 82 particle therapy facilities are currently in clinical operation; further 37 centers are under construction or in planning. This means that the number of centres worldwide has more than doubled since 2013. In Europe alone, 27 centres are currently operational (2013: 14). With such a large number of treatment centers, it should be assumed that the underlying clinical evidence on patient benefit is convincing. The update of the LBI-HTA report 2013 has the task to give an overview of secured indications as well as indications that are only recommended under clinical research. Only a hand search for HTA reviews and systematic reviews was conducted. The identified reviews articulate in unison that the available - mostly retrospective - studies are of low quality and insufficient to make conclusive statements on the added value of proton or carbon ion therapy. Only a few indications are recommended for proton or carbon ion therapy (chordomas and chondrosarcomas, uveamelanoma, pediatric tumors in the base of the skull, brain and head and neck tumors) to avoid secondary tumors. Further indications, with curative intention and non-metastatic, are only recommended under conditions of prospective clinical studies.

                                Covid-19: HSS/ Horizon Scanning Living Document (v02 May 2020)

                                The establishment of a HSS/ Horizon Scanning System for Covid19 interventions has the intentions of informing health policy makers at an early stage which interventions (vaccinations and drugs) are currently undergoing clinical trials and to monitor them over the next few months in order to support evidence-based purchasing if necessary. The products are monitored with regard to the status of the clinical studies up to approval and finally evaluated for their benefit and harm.

                                All work steps are conducted in close international (European) cooperation.
