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

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.
