How are cancer cells electrocuted by nanoknife?

"Irreversible electroporation technology," also known as "steep pulse technology," uses puncture needles evenly distributed around the lesion to generate a high-voltage current of up to 3,000 volts and 20-40 amperes, which breaks down the tumor cell membrane, forming nanoscale irreversible electroporation and ultimately causing cancer cells to die.

Furthermore, it generates no heat and does not affect the blood vessels or nerves of surrounding organs and tissues, offering excellent safety and effectiveness. These advantages have led to its gradual adoption in clinical tumor treatment. Furthermore, it has been given the appealing name "Nano Knife."

Advantages of Nano Knife Technology :

It can stimulate microsecond pulse waves under high voltage of 1000V to 3000V, and selectively act on the lipid bilayer of tumor tissue cell membrane through electrode needles, causing irreversible perforation, thereby killing tumor cells. Its characteristics are:

Compared with other ablation treatments, the energy is more concentrated and the time is shorter.

The blood vessels and nerves in the treatment area will not be damaged, which is safe.

Thorough treatment with clear treatment boundaries.

Monitor the treatment process in real time to ensure treatment integrity.

The system can be operated under ultrasound and CT guidance, and can also be used to ablate isolated metastases discovered unexpectedly during surgery. The treatment pathway, approach, and physician operability are highly compatible.

Which tumors are suitable for treatment with NanoKnife technology ?

It is suitable for isolated solid metastatic tumors in the liver, lungs, kidneys, pancreas, and abdominal cavity, and has tissue targeting.

It has unique advantages in treating tumors near the liver portal area, gallbladder, intestinal tract, pancreas, or those that are not suitable for surgical treatment or those that recur after surgery.
