Key Message

One health technology assessment report and three systematic reviews were identified regarding the clinical effectiveness of high-intensity focused ultrasonography for early-stage or screen-detected prostate cancer. One randomized controlled trial was identified regarding the clinical effectiveness of hormonal therapy for early-stage or screen-detected prostate cancer. One systematic review was identified that compared prostate cancer treatment guidelines. Six evidence-based guidelines were identified regarding the use of hormonal therapy and high-intensity focused ultrasonography for prostate cancer
