There is now a significant opportunity to improve the safety and quality of life outcomes for men requiring treatment for prostate cancer.

Today, we’re discussing the WATER IV Prostate Cancer trial, an innovative and meaningful clinical trial that is actively enrolling patients to assess how the safety and efficacy of Aquablation therapy compares with radical prostatectomy in men with localized prostate cancer. I’m excited to share my experience as a current investigator for that study and to have Dr. Inderbir Gill, the co-principal investigator from the University of Southern California, join us.

Dr. Gill is the current Chairman and Distinguished Professor of Urology of the University of Southern California Department of Urology. He is also the Founding Executive Director of the USC Institute of Urology.

Stay tuned to learn who qualifies as a candidate to participate in the trial, how the study works, and how you can get involved.

Dr. Louis Spencer Krane - on how irreversible electroporation (IRE) with The NanoKnife System differentiates itself from other ablative treatments. IRE can precisely target prostate lesions with electrical pulses, while helping preserve sexual function and urinary control.

"I think the most important of these is that many of the other modalities are lesion, size, and location dependent. What we've seen with NanoKnife is you can destroy lesions within the prostate on the anterior of the prostate or on the posterior of the prostate. You can do them in the apex of the prostate or the base of the prostate."

Using Electrical Pulses (The NanoKnife System) to Treat Prostate Tumors
Featuring: Dr. L. Spencer Krane

💥 What if treating prostate tumors didn’t mean sacrificing sexual function or urinary control?
There’s a groundbreaking new option that might just change the game, and we’re talking all about it in our latest episode.

To kick off Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, we’re honored to welcome Dr. Spencer Krane, Chief of Urology at the VA in New Orleans and a leader in personalized prostate cancer care. He joins us to break down the NanoKnife system, a cutting-edge treatment that uses high-voltage electrical pulses to precisely ablate prostate tumors, without the thermal damage of traditional options.

✅ Who’s the ideal candidate for NanoKnife therapy?
✅ Can it be used regardless of prostate size or anatomy?
✅ What sets this apart from other treatment options?

🔬 Whether you're a patient, caregiver, or urologist exploring advanced treatment modalities, this episode is a must-listen.

🎙️ "NanoKnife works in a very high voltage non-thermal mechanism... you can destroy lesions within the prostate without damaging the surrounding connective tissue." – Dr. Krane
