Unlike other treatment methods, NanoKnife directly targets tumor cells and preserves healthy tissue infrastructures in the prostate area.

IRE treatment for prostate cancer usually takes less than two hours, not weeks or months. Just one day after treatment, you can return to the activities you love, pain-free. The nerve-sparing treatment largely* avoids the usual permanent side effects such as incontinence or impotence.

IRE (NanoKnife) is a new technology, especially for use in prostate cancer. According to data to date, IRE is as effective as conventional treatments in treating prostate cancer: radical prostatectomy (surgery) and radiation therapy. Notably, however, NanoKnife treatment keeps all avenues open for future treatment, unlike radical surgery.

* Urinary incontinence, as it is called, is the lack or inability of the body to safely store and self-directly empty the contents of the bladder. This leads to involuntary loss of urine. While there are several possible definitions of incontinence, a long-term study of incontinence after prostatectomy^** concludes that a reasonable definition of incontinence is when a patient requires 2 or more pads per day 12 months after prostate surgery.
