The NanoKnife System Master Course
Join us for an exclusive one-day master course focused on the cutting-edge NanoKnife IRE (Irreversible Electroporation) technology by AngioDynamics, a groundbreaking treatment option. This immersive program brings together expert faculty from across the United States to provide a comprehensive overview of the latest clinical data, treatment protocols, and their personal insights from using the NanoKnife system to achieve optimal patient outcomes.
The day will be divided into interactive lectures, case discussions, and a hands-on simulation experience. Expert practitioners will share their expertise in employing NanoKnife IRE technology, from treatment planning to patient selection, as well as the critical factors that lead to successful outcomes. The program is designed to be highly practical, giving participants the opportunity to engage with the NanoKnife Prostate Simulator, a state-of-the-art platform for honing skills and gaining experience in performing IRE procedures in a controlled, risk-free environment.
By the end of this master course, participants will have a deeper understanding of NanoKnife system’s place in the future of focal therapy, alongside enhanced proficiency in using the technology.
Learning Objectives:
- Gain a comprehensive understanding of the latest data supporting NanoKnife IRE technology in focal therapy.
- Learn from expert practitioners about patient selection, treatment planning, and procedural tips for successful outcomes.
- Participate in hands-on training with the NanoKnife Prostate Simulator, refining your skills in IRE treatment techniques.
- Discuss real-world clinical experiences and patient case studies to improve your approach to focal therapy.
This program is ideal for urologists, urologic oncologists, and other specialists seeking to expand their proficiency in focal therapy and cutting-edge treatments.
