Treatment of Prostate Cancer with Irreversible Electroporation (NanoKnife)

New Benchmark for Prostate Cancer Treatment

New treatment method for prostate cancer – NanoKnife (irreversible electroporation or IRE), affords new possibilities for focal prostate therapy with only minimal side effects and sets the new benchmark in this field.

Whilst currently established treatment methods cause impotence (loss of erectile function of the penis) and incontinence (loss of urinary bladder control) in the majority of men, these side effects can be avoided in most cases with irreversible electroporation.

The significance of paradigm change in prostate therapy becomes clear when one considers that every 6th man is affected by prostate cancer. And whilst prostate cancer was primarily a disease of elderly men in the past, today younger, too, are increasingly afflicted.
