Authors' recommendations: Based on the evidence identified, the inclusion of TheraSphere® for the treatment of HCC in the catalogue of benefits was not currently recommended. The evidence for the treatment of mCRC with SIR-Spheres® indicated that is more efficacious and as safe as other treatment options. An inclusion in the catalogue of benefits was therefore recommended with restrictions.
