We show that every isomorphism of prime knot groups preserves the peripheral subgroups of the knot groups, and therefore every isomorphism of prime knot groups is induced by a homeomorphism of the knot manifolds by Waldhausen. We also show that a cable knot is invertible if and only if its companion is invertible.
