“…The results of 3 CCTs ( n = 461) showed that, there was no serious toxicity associated with HT and similar interventions, while mild toxicity caused by HT was lower than that caused by IMRT and 3D‐CRT; the 1‐, 2‐, and 3‐year survival rates after HT were all higher than those after IMRT. viii Liver cancer: the results of 8 observational studies ( n = 403) showed that, there was little difference of the effect between HT and comparative measures. The 1‐ and 2‐year survival rates after HT for liver cancer were 50.1–87.5% and 14.9%, respectively; and the median survival time was 12.3–22.5 months ( N = 6; n = 356).…”

The evidence of this study showed that, HT is safe and effective in clinic. But the abovementioned conclusion needs to be verified by conducting more high-quality studies with long-term follow-up. The costs of HT in procurement, maintenance, and application are high; and the skills, training, and qualification of operators are required. We suggest that the procurement of HT should be reduced; it should be allocated rationally and effectively used after comprehensive assessment in China's cancer epidemiology characteristics, health resource allocation, disease burden, medical service level, etc.; and also high-quality studies with long-term follow-up should be financially supported on the basis of establishing projects, so as to provide local evidence and consistently guide and improve scientific decision-making.
