NANOKNIFE PROSTATE TREATMENT
I had prostate cancer some years ago. And it was successfully treated by brachytherapy. Unfortunately it has returned. My consultant has now recommended testosterone suppressing medication followed by focussed, high-dose brachytherapy. There are risks of damaging side effects with this treatment. I am aware of newer, reportedly much less risky treatments abroad such as NanoKnife ( irreversible electroporation ) in the UK ( London)and elsewhere. This is not available here.
Anybody out there willing to share their NanoKnife experience with me please?

Hi RM808,
Thank you so much for your reply including the thread links to other valuable information.I am very interested in the Nanoknife treatment option and I have already made contact with Prof. Emberton’s office in King Edward V11’s Hospital.I look forward to having a consultation with him and exploring my treatment options.
Does Private Health Insurance cover Nanoknife treatment and if not what would the ball park figure be for this treatment?
Many thanks for your invaluable information which is helping me to proceed with my treatment options and it will also benefit those just diagnosed with prostate cancer.
Hi Jacky
Have you progressed this any further I am also looking at going down this route . I am insured with Laya . I have read great reports of NanoKnife
Hi Jacky - sorry to hear about your diagnosis. I had nanoknife 2 years ago and all went well. I shared my experience on another thread which you will find below. It is very much worth investigating and I highly recommend your reaching out to Professor Mark Emberton in London
