VietnamA New Dawn: The Inaugural NanoKnife Case in Malaysia for Prostate Cancer
Published on November 2024
On October 18, 2024, Picaso Hospital successfully performed Malaysia’s first NanoKnife procedures for prostate cancer. The operations were led by Dato Dr. Loh Chit Sin and his team, with proctorship from Dr. Kae Jack Tay of Singapore General Hospital. This cross-border collaboration also included support from Jolen Tsang of AngioDynamics Hong Kong.
Two patients underwent the minimally invasive procedure and were discharged the same day. Each procedure was completed smoothly in under an hour, providing the team with confidence to perform future cases. According to Dato Dr. Loh, performing these cases also provide him with valuable insights for future patient selection.
The NanoKnife technology uses non-thermal, high-voltage currents to ablate cancer cells, significantly reducing the risk of incontinence and impotence in intermediate risk prostate cancer patients. For more information, please feel free to contact us.
