Who is cryotherapy good for?
Cryotherapy is an option for prostate cancer patients who want to avoid major surgery or the risks of radiations or watchful waiting. Cryotherapy can treat prostate cancer patients in the intermediate and high risk groups (stage T2c or above) as well as those who have failed previous radiation treatment. Effectiveness of cryotherapy Recent publications showing 10-year data demonstrates safety and durable efficacy of cryotherapy for treating prostate cancer. Morbidity following the procedure is mild in comparison with other treatments, with the exception of sexual function impairment. Cryotherapy for prostate cancer can be repeated, and it can also be used as a secondary treatment when other primary treatments fail.
