Canfield Performs First NanoKnife Prostate Ablation


April 25, 2023

Steven Canfield, MD, Division Director of Urology in the Department of Surgery, recently became the first surgeon in Houston to perform a NanoKnife prostate ablation. This minimally invasive procedure uses an electrical pulse process to destroy tumors without damaging any surrounding structures. It also serves as an alternative to radiation or surgery in the treatment of prostate cancer.

Congratulations to Dr. Canfield and his team on this amazing achievement!
