Concerning the final report 'Hyperthermia: A systematic review' of the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Health Technology Assessment, Vienna, March 2010

摘要

The "Final Report" from the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute Vienna (LBI), described as the result of a "systematic review", takes the report published in 2005 by the German Joint Federal Committee (JFC Report) [1]-the most senior decision-making body for healthcare politics in Germany-nd assesses whether evidence has changed for the 11 oncological indicators for hyperthermia (HT) that were classified as promising since the latter was published. The authors state that they also conducted other reviews of the literature in medical databases and in Health Technology Assessment databases [2].
