Economic evaluations can be useful in decision making regarding allocation of scarce health care resources such as radiation therapy. However, assessment of treatment efficacy must be performed in addition to economic evaluations if proper resource allocation decisions are to be made. Economic evaluations cannot and should not relapse properly conducted clinical trials-particularly in the area of palliative care.
经济评估在诸如放射治疗等稀缺医疗资源的分配决策中可能会有所帮助。然而，要做出合理的资源分配决策，除了进行经济评估外，还必须对治疗效果进行评估。经济评估不能也不应该取代精心开展的临床试验，尤其是在姑息治疗领域。
