I find it strange that the USA has not embraced the NanoKnife procedure which is gaining momentum worldwide for Low & Intermediate cancer . Gleason 6 , Gleason 3 + 4 = 7 and select patients with Gleason 4 + 3 = 7 .
This is being favoured over Cyberknife .

I had the NanoKnife (Irreversible Electroporation) treatment in January 2024 at the Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa. The results thus far have been very good. Due to the location of the tumor, the doctor felt that NanoKnife treatment was my best option. There are a multitude of considerations that go into a doctor's recommendation and after much research I felt comfortable with this approach.
