Cryotherapy is a breakthrough prostate cancer treatment that is a proven, minimally invasive alternative to surgical treatments and radiation treatment. Cryotherapy incorporates the use of slim probes known as ‘cryoprobes’ that periodically deliver cycles of extremely cold and warm temperatures to repeatedly freeze and thaw cancerous cells within and surrounding the prostate gland ultimately destroying the cancerous cells.
Utilizing ultrasound technology to guide the treatment, the probes are strategically inserted through the skin and placed in and around the prostate. This tactical placement of the cryoprobes allows your surgeon to target the prostate gland while minimizing damage to surrounding tissue.
