Abstract
Non-metastasized, non-resectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients with Barcelona clinic liver cancer (BCLC) stages B and, in part, C (≈25%) can be treated by systemic immunotherapy or selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT). Therapies vary in terms of required infrastructure, medical specialization(s), facilities, preparation, conduct, and cost. Our objective was to undertake a cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) and budget impact analysis (BIA) of SIRT – here: with 90Y-labelled glass microspheres (TheraSphere®) compared to immunotherapy with atezolizumab plus bevacizumab (A+B) – from the perspective of the German statutory health insurance (SHI).
