HTA on cancer drugs

The purpose of an HTA on cancer drugs is to give a broad and well-documented foundation for decision-making regarding the use of cancer drugs in Denmark.

It is a prerequisite for an HTA on cancer drug that there is a permission from the  Danish Medicines Agency to marketing the drug for the treatment (indication) , in question.

In 2008 the National Board of Health established a National Committee for the Evaluation of Cancer Drugs (UVKL) whose purpose is to advise the regions on the use of cancer drugs on a national level. UVKL discusses cancer drugs on the basis of submitted mini-HTAs from the professional associations.

The last report was published in 2009.
