Cryoablation as Salvage Therapy for Recurrent Prostate Cancer
Cryosurgery was first used to treat prostate cancer in the early 1970s. Sine then, changes in equipment and techniques have improved the re
Cryoablation as Salvage Therapy for Recurrent Prostate Cancer after Radiation
"The technique is reported to produce outcomes similar to those obtained with brachytherapy and three-dimensional conformal radiation. Advantages of cryosurgery include the ability to re-treat patients without added morbidity and to treat salvage post-radiation patients with acceptable results and morbidity. There is also the possibility that "nerve-sparing" cryosurgery is possible. A randomized study presented at the 2007 AUA meeting demonstrated that cryoablation was at least equivalent to radiation therapy for the primary treatment of localized prostate cancer.
