納米刀局部治療前列腺癌
我們的納米刀療法
納米刀(NanoKnife©)，也稱為 IRE（不可逆電穿孔），是一種針對局部前列腺癌的微創治療。透過放置在腫瘤周圍的細電極施加短電脈衝來殺死癌細胞。電場可以精確定位以產生微孔，從而導致腫瘤細胞死亡，無需依賴會破壞周圍健康組織的熱能。神經、尿道和括約肌得以倖免，從而提高了維持節制和勃起能力的可能性。因此，納米刀具有保留關鍵組織的獨特優勢，這些組織可能會被傳統的「全腺體治療」，例如:手術或放射治療，損壞或移除。

什麼是納米刀療法?
納米刀療法的好處：
- 為局限性前列腺癌提供精確、個人化且可靠的治療替代方案
- 即時可視化和影像指導
- 保護負責泌尿和性功能的組織
- 微創短期門診手術，沒有手術傷口及無需住院
- 幾天後即可恢復正常活動
- 該程序可以重複，並且不排除未來其他治療選擇（如果需要）
納米刀治療如何發揮作用？
納米刀的名字來自它的作用機制，即電脈衝有效地「切割」開放的細胞膜，導致細胞凋亡或腫瘤細胞死亡。這些短電脈衝可以超精確地瞄準，並且不會產生熱量，因此對周圍器官和健康組織器官造成的風險很小。在磁力共振掃描和即時超音波引導下，納米刀治療可以精確地針對相應區域。
納米刀是由維吉尼亞理工大學和加州大學柏克萊分校的生物醫學工程師團隊於 2007 年開發的。它於 2008 年獲得 FDA 批准，並已在世界各地用於治療肝癌、腎癌、胰腺癌以及最近的前列腺癌。

常見問題
What is prostate cancer?
The prostate is a small walnut-shaped gland found in men that produces the seminal fluid that nourishes and transports sperm. Prostate cancer is unique in that many prostate tumors do not spread quickly to other parts of the body. Even in cases where prostate cancer spreads, it can often be managed for a long time, allowing those even with advanced prostate cancer, to live with good health and quality of life for many years. An important part of managing prostate cancer is monitoring it for growth over time. Based on the pattern of growth, your doctor can decide the best available treatment options and when to give them.
How is prostate cancer graded?
Prostate cancer is given a grade called a Gleason score, which is the most common prostate cancer grading system used. The score is calculated based on how close the cancer tissue looks like healthy tissue when viewed under a microscope. Cancerous tumors that are less aggressive look more like healthy tissue. Whereas cancerous tumors that are more aggressive are likely to look very different from healthy tissue.
A pathologist, someone who looks at the cancerous cells under a microscope and does comparisons, will observe the cancer cells in the prostate and assign a score on a scale of 3 to 5. They do this for two sections of the prostate that have cancer growth. The cancer cells that look similar to healthy cells are given a low score. The cancer cells that look less like healthy cells are given a higher score. The two scores are added together to come up with the overall Gleason score, which falls between 6 and 10.
What are the current treatment options?
Currently, there are six main types of treatment options available for those with prostate cancer. They include:
Active Surveillance
When prostate cancer is not in the advanced stages or immediate treatment options are not yet necessary, active surveillance is suggested. This involves monitoring the cancer for signs that it is worsening. If the cancer is found to be worsening, then a more active treatment will begin, such as those listed below.
Surgery
Prostate cancer surgery involves the removal of the prostate gland and some of the surrounding lymph nodes. The type of surgery depends on the stage of the disease, the man’s overall health, and other factors.
Radiation therapy
Radiation therapy for prostate cancer is used to destroy the cancer cells with the use of high-energy rays. A radiation therapy regimen, or schedule, consists of a specific number of treatments given over a set period of time.
Focal Therapy
Focal therapies are considered less-invasive treatments. They can destroy small prostate tumors without treating the rest of the prostate. These treatments can use different forms of energy to destroy the cancer including heat, cold, or irreversible electroporation. This form of treatment is mostly for intermediate-risk prostate cancer patients.
Systemic Treatments
Systemic therapy is the use of medication to destroy cancer cells. This type of medication is given through the bloodstream to reach cancer cells throughout the body. Systemic therapies are generally prescribed by a medical oncologist, a doctor who specializes in treating cancer with medication.
Testosterone Suppression Therapy
This form of treatment is based on lowering testosterone levels in the patient. Because prostate cancer growth is driven by male sex hormones called androgens, lowering levels of these hormones can help slow the growth of the cancer. The most common androgen is testosterone. Testosterone levels in the body can be lowered in a number of ways including surgical removal of the testicles or by taking drugs that turn off the function of the testicles.
