Cryosurgery

11/01/2014 - "Accumulating data have demonstrated that cryoablation is highly effective in local tumor control with well-acceptable safety profile, and the overall survival is comparable with that of radiofrequency ablation in patients with tumors <5 cm. Compared with radiofrequency ablation and other thermal-based modalities, cryoablation has several advantages, such as the ability to produce larger and precise zones of ablation. "
02/01/2012 - "Most importantly, the introduction of nanoparticles successfully overcomes the classical challenges in completely ablating the tumor region with large blood vessel and enhancing the freezing efficacy of cryosurgery. "
05/01/2008 - "As such, cryoablation may prove most effective in cancer cells that have not yet progressed to a more resistant AI phenotype, but both generic variants can be fully ablated at sufficiently low temperatures."
05/01/2015 - "Computed tomography-guided percutaneous cryoablation is a safe and effective technique for treating renal tumors with excellent renal function preservation."
02/01/2013 - "Percutaneous cryoablation is a safe and effective treatment to achieve local tumor control and short-term complete disease remission in patients with limited metastatic disease to the musculoskeletal system."

05/01/2015 - "Cryoablation has been proven as a less invasive, safe, and effective treatment for localized prostate cancer. "
08/01/1975 - "The early results in patients treated by cryosurgery indicate that this mode of therapy can be very effective in the ablation of the local lesion and may very well have a useful place in the surgical armamentarium for the management of prostatic cancer."
11/01/2014 - "A significant improvement of equipment for cryosurgery, the use of cryoneedles with smaller diameter, and the use of temperature sensors and catheters to warm the urethral mucosa have allowed to minimize the number of complications in comparison with other methods of treatment of prostate cancer and achieve a high disease-free survival. "
11/01/2010 - "The biochemical efficacy of primary cryoablation combined with prolonged total androgen suppression compared with radiotherapy on high-risk prostate cancer: a 3-year pilot study."
05/01/2003 - "Recent publications demonstrate durable efficacy for cryoablation, equivalent to other therapies for low-risk disease and possibly superior for moderate- and high-risk prostate cancer. "

02/01/2013 - "In a single-institution retrospective study of data from December 2003 to October 2011, 43 consecutive patients underwent initial cryoablation of limited (five or fewer) musculoskeletal metastases with the goal of complete disease remission (ie, no clinical or radiographic evidence of disease). "
02/01/2013 - "To assess the safety and effectiveness of percutaneous cryoablation to treat limited metastases to the musculoskeletal system, with the goal of complete disease remission. "
01/01/2008 - "The data from this ten year prospective, randomized clinical trial suggest that hepatic cryosurgery is effective in the treatment of resectable and nonresectable liver metastases. "
01/01/2007 - "The data of this 10-year prospective, randomized clinical trial suggest that hepatic cryosurgery is effective in the treatment of resectable and non-resectable liver metastases. "
01/01/2007 - "The data of this 10-year prospective, randomized clinical trial suggest that hepatic cryosurgery is effective in the treatment of resectable and non-resectable liver metastases. "

09/01/2000 - "Cryoablation is easy to perform and leads to a significant reduction in pain and lower request for additional pain medication after lateral minithoracotomy in minimally invasive cardiac operation."
10/01/1998 - "Cryosurgery is an effective treatment for squamous intraepithelial lesions, but causes pain and cramping regardless of the particular method of cryosurgery used. "
11/01/2006 - "Percutaneous cryoablation is a safe and effective method for palliation of pain due to metastatic disease involving bone."
10/01/2005 - "Both RFA and cryoablation are safe and effective for palliation of pain due to metastatic disease in patients who have failed conventional therapies. "
06/01/2009 - "Although cryosurgery has been used to treat certain conditions, its efficacy for the treatment of heel pain has not been established. "

03/01/1991 - "Cryosurgery has previously been used successfully to treat prostatic carcinoma. "
09/01/1988 - "Cryosurgery has previously been used successfully to treat prostatic carcinoma. "
10/01/1997 - "As performed in this series cryosurgery was poorly effective for local control of prostatic carcinoma. "
05/01/1991 - "Cryosurgery for tongue carcinoma was shown to be effective and safe."
02/15/1991 - "Ultrasound-guided hepatic cryosurgery appears to be an effective treatment for metastatic colon carcinoma to the liver that is unresectable (including patients with bilobar and multiple lesions). "
