Australia based Professor Phillip Stricker of Sydney’s St. Vincent’s hospital and his team are currently conducting a clinical trial about the effectiveness of the so called “focal therapy”.  Focal therapy includes the use of heat or cold, or the Nanoknife to destroy certain areas of the prostate containing the cancer cells. Professor Strickers team is currently trialing the Nanoknife technique, where small wires are insterd into the tumor and electricity is directed across the cancer.
