Will your insurance pay for NanoKnife (also known as irreversible electroporation)?

I too live in ATL and had one 3 +4 and one 4 +3 = 7 Gleeson biopsy cores. I had 23 rounds of IMRT plus one high dose brachytherapy procedure at Emory.

Also 6 months Orgovyx hormone suppression. I was very happy with the comprehensive care I received at Emory and know their multi-disciplinary capabilities are key to effective prostate cancer diagnosis and treatments. If you are not speaking with them....you might consider it. I know they do Proton and SBRT but I am not sure about NanoKnife?

I had NanoKnife treatment by Dr. Lomas at Mayo Rochester in October of 2021. I couldn’t be happier with the results (as far as PSA and MRIs can indicate with focal treatments) and the overall care I received. Virtually no side effects. Now… perpetual active surveillance.

Very true. I hear Medicare will be covering in 2026.

Hello All,After fighting with the VA for three years ( 100% Disabled Desert Storm 20yrs 🇺🇸 ) I finally made it to Mayo Phoenix 😊 What a difference dealing with true professionals!After completing my Trans-Perineal Targeted MRI Fusion biopsy 3+4 all contained in the prostrate 🙏 my Doctor recommended Nano Knife, it had just became available in 2024 and is still considered experimental. It seems to have the least side effects and I do not need ADT what a relief. My nurse informed me that they have treated over 300 patients with very good results!My question? If you have had the Nano knife treatment please chime in and share your experience 🙏 it would be most appreciated 😊Most RespectfullyRay & Lucy 🇺🇸

Am having Nanoknife surgery in August. The Doctor is David Strauss at University Colorado Health Anschutz Hospital. My tumor is 1mm, Gleason score 3+4 – Category 2

Wonder if anyone else has had this surgery? I hear it’s much more prevalent in Europe.
