We were seeking information on the new NanoKnife treatment for prostate cancer. We discussed the possibility of having the procedure, and if I was a good candidate. The Intern and Doctor were extremely helpful and provided Information to all of our questions with great care and concern for our hesitancy to undergo a new procedure.
