“…The incidence of severe toxicity was low (Table ). ix Breast cancer: the results of 6 observational studies ( n = 171) showed that the main adverse reaction associated with HT for breast cancer was mild skin toxicity (G2) and the incidence of severe toxicity (≥G3) was low. Slight dysphagia and dyspnea toxicity was observed, but the incidence was low and the degree was mild.…”

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.
