Abstract: Objective To systematically collect the mapping functions of health utility values of various cancer patients in the Asia-Pacific region to provide scientific reference for domestic research in the field of cancer patients’ health utility values. Methods A systematic literature search was conducted by using PubMed, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, CNKI, VIP Database and Wanfang Database to collect studies on the application of mapping method for health utility value measurement from 2008 to 2019. The key words included cancer, scale, mapping, and health utility. The inclusion criteria for the studies were: (1) The research papers came from countries in Asia Pacific region; (2) Original research articles; (3) Written/published in Chinese and English. Results and Conclusion A total of 137 Chinese and English articles were retrieved, and 9 articles met the requirements in the screening. The literature was classified by the following types: (1) It had a clear functional relationship; (2) It had no clear functional relationship. Due to the small numbers of samples, the reliability of the research results is not high. The construction of mapping model should build multiple regression models to test the performance of the model combined with different index variables. In addition, due to the limitations of the research objects selected in the literature, more attention should be paid to the mapping function of other types of cancers. At the same time, the research and development of the original data should be focused on as well.
