Horizon Scanning in Oncology - Reports

Decision Support Documents

Within the scope of the Horizon Scanning in Oncology project, the LBI-HTA periodically published assessments until 2019 on novel cancer drugs with a likely therapeutical and/or financial outcome. These assessments served as decision aids for funding agencies and the decision-making network "HTA in hospitals " alike.

Since January 2020, monthly Fact Sheets will be conducted concerning all pharmaceutical oncological therapies that have received a positive opinion from the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency.
