Time Magazine names NanoKnife “Best Invention 2025“
The future we have been living since 2010
A few days ago, the renowned Time Magazine caused a stir in the medical world by naming the AngioDynamics NanoKnife treatment (IRE) one of the “Best Inventions 2025”.
This honor marks a milestone for the
minimally invasive prostate cancer therapy
– and confirms that Vitus Privatklinik is on the right track. Because what Time Magazine is now celebrating as a groundbreaking innovation for the future, we have been using since 2010 successfully since 2010.
The award-winning technology: NanoKnife (IRE)
Irreversible electroporation (IRE), known by the brand name NanoKnife, has been highlighted by Time magazine as “a minimally invasive option for men with prostate cancer”.
The mechanism: The NanoKnife procedure delivers localized, precise electrical impulses to destroy the cancer cells in a targeted manner without damaging the surrounding healthy tissue, especially the nerve tracts.
Vitus Private Clinic: Pioneers of focal therapy since 2010
While the US FDA did not approve NanoKnife technology for prostate cancer until the end of 2024 and international approval will follow in 2025, we recognized the therapeutic benefits of IRE early on and have firmly anchored it in our treatment spectrum.
Our long experience means for you as a patient:
- Maximum precision: We have mastered the focal application of the NanoKnife procedure for over 15 years and can adapt it optimally to your individual situation.
- Minimal risk: We have always been committed to ensuring that the focus of therapy is on maintaining potency and continence. Our results from case studies on IRE NanoKnife therapy show 90-95% potency preservation and 100% continence preservation.¹
The award from Time Magazine is a welcome confirmation for us that the path of individual, gentle and focal therapy – which we embarked on over a decade ago – is the right one.
We are proud to be able to offer our patients in Germany the treatment that has been recognized as the “future” based on our extensive experience.
