‘BACKGROUND

[…] Among all prostate cancer patients, those with low or favourable intermediate risk of prostate cancer who have a low risk of tumour

& page 2

‘[…] To evaluate the clinical and economic long-term consequences of applying MR-TULSA in low or favourable intermediate-risk prostate cancer in Germany’

We found inconsistencies in punctuation: Please correct them into ‘low- and favourable intermediate-risk (of) prostate cancer.

Page 5:

‘Table 2 Cost calculation […] Salvage ADT withleuprorelinn for 2 years’

The typing mistake mentioned above, needs to be corrected in ‘with leuprorelin for 2 years’

‘Table 2 Cost calculation […] RARP, radical prostatectomy’

Please correct to ‘RARP, robot-assisted radical prostatectomy’.

‘DISCUSSION This is the first cost–utility analysis of MR-TULSA for the treatment of low- and favourable intermediate-risk localised prostate cancer. Our results show that over a lifetime horizon, RARP is the cheapest treatment alternative, whereas AS and MR-TULSA are cost-effective alternatives with an ICER of €116 600 per QALY and €12 193…’

Instead of the correct value €11 600 per QALY, it is written €116 600 per QALY.

‘Strength and limitations […] To respond to the degree of uncertainty of long-term outcomes (eg, mortality) from different treatment strat egies for low-risk prostate cancer, a series of structural sensitivity analyses were conducted, exploring shorter time horizons for the model (10, 15 and 20 years).

Instead of 10, 15 and 20 years, we conducted structural sensitivity analyses in the model for 5, 10 and 20 years as mentioned in ‘METHODS’ (page 4).
