NHS Evidence Update: Multiple Sclerosis and Prostate Cancer

Multiple sclerosis (NHS Evidence – neurological conditions)

The Neurological Conditions Specialist Collection Project Team has carried out a systematic literature search on Multiple Sclerosis to identify all high level evidence published since the date of the last Multiple Sclerosis AEU in 2008, including guidelines, systematic reviews, health technology assessments and economic evaluations. Leading MS experts from around the UK have read and appraised these for their validity and relevance to the busy clinician. A list of the papers deemed worthy of inclusion, along with expert commentaries by our reviewers is freely available.

This year we have also begun to identify uncertainties in research to contribute to the DUETs project (see www.library.nhs.uk/duets for more details).

Prostate cancer (NHS Evidence – cancer)
This will be the third annual evidence update on prostrate cancer prepared by NHS Evidence – cancer. It includes the systematic reviews and guidance that have been published since March 2009.
