NanoKnife for prostate cancer

---

NanoKnife (Irreversible Electroporation – IRE) is a minimally invasive focal therapy used to treat certain cases of localized prostate cancer. Instead of using heat or radiation, NanoKnife delivers a series of controlled electrical pulses through small needles placed around the tumor. These pulses create microscopic openings in the cancer cell membranes, leading to cell death while helping preserve nearby structures such as nerves, blood vessels, and the urinary sphincter. Because NanoKnife does not rely on thermal energy, it may reduce the risk of damage to surrounding healthy tissue. When combined with advanced imaging and careful patient selection, NanoKnife can provide a targeted treatment option for men seeking effective cancer control while maintaining quality of life.
