AngioDynamics Announces Publication of PRESERVE Study of NanoKnife® System for Prostate Tissue Ablation in European Urology
Peer-reviewed findings demonstrate high disease control and quality-of-life preservation, supporting shift toward focal therapy in prostate treatment
Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer among men in
“The publication of the PRESERVE study in European Urology provides strong supporting evidence for the use of Irreversible Electroporation as a focal therapy in prostate treatment,” said
The NanoKnife System received FDA clearance for prostate tissue ablation in late 2024, following the successful completion of the PRESERVE study. Conducted across 17 clinical sites in collaboration with the
The PRESERVE clinical study met its primary effectiveness endpoint, demonstrating the performance of the NanoKnife System for the ablation of prostate tissue in patients with intermediate-risk PCa. At 12 months post-procedure, 84.0% of men were free from in-field, clinically significant disease (defined by the Delphi consensus criterion). The study also demonstrated strong quality-of-life outcomes: urinary continence was largely preserved (97% at baseline vs. 96% at 12 months), and at 12 months, 84% of patients with good baseline sexual function maintained erections sufficient for penetration.3
These results confirm the NanoKnife System’s robust safety and efficacy profile, building on a foundation of more than 32 clinical studies involving over 2,600 patients worldwide.3
The PRESERVE study was led by Co-Principal Investigators
“The PRESERVE data supports the long-term data that we are seeing in practice, patients are benefiting from effective, targeted treatment without compromising their quality of life,” said
The NanoKnife System uses a non-thermal technique called irreversible electroporation (IRE) to ablate targeted prostate tissue while sparing critical structures. Unlike thermal ablation, IRE avoids damaging critical structures, helping preserve urinary and sexual function.
The PRESERVE results arrive at a pivotal time, as global urologic societies increasingly recognize focal therapy, and patients seek alternatives to whole-gland treatments that may carry a greater risk of side effects.

About European Urology
European Urology is ranked the top urology journal in the world by the Scimago Journal Rank (SJR). The journal is recognized globally for its high-impact research across oncology, surgical innovation, and more. This ranking reaffirms its role as the premier publication advancing urologic science and care.4
About the NanoKnife System
The NanoKnife System utilizes Irreversible Electroporation (IRE) technology to effectively destroy targeted cells without the use of thermal energy by delivering high-voltage pulses, creating permanent nanopores within the cell membrane. This stimulus induces an apoptotic-like cellular death in the targeted tissue, resulting in a complete ablation of the targeted tissue.5 Visit nanoknife.com for full product information.
