cryoablation

The use in prostate and renal cryoablation are the most common.

If cold temperatures are used, it is called cryoablation.

Cryoablation is also currently being used to treat fibroadenomas of the breast.

Doctors have begun treating women suffering from breast cancer with a procedure known as cryoablation.

Cryosurgery (also called cryoablation) freezes the tumor and kills it.

The company provides cryoablation technology that is used to freeze tissue for diagnostic and therapeutic breast care procedures.

Recurrence rates with cryoablation are higher, though.

Cold temperatures are used in cryoablation to chill or freeze cells that conduct abnormal heart rhythms.

This procedure is also called cryoablation.

Similar to radio frequency ablation, Cryoablation involves the insertion of a probe in to the affected area.

This treatment is called Cryoablation.

Prostate cryoablation is moderately effective but, as with any prostate removal process, also can result in impotence.

Therefore, laparoscopic renal cryoablation should be reserved for high risk patients with decreased life expectancy."

Opposing views: Laparoscopic cryoablation for a 3 cm nonhilar renal tumor.

Cryosurgery procedures such as cryoablation use liquefied argon to destroy cancer cells.

Minimally-invasive surgical alternatives include biopsy-removal techniques and cryoablation.

Laser coagulation or cryoablation (freezing) of the retina can be used to destroy the abnormal blood vessels.

Also, applications of focused amounts of heat (radio-frequency lesioning) or cold (cryoablation) may be used.

The most common application of cryoablation is to ablate solid tumors found in the lung, liver, breast, kidney and prostate.

Quality of life after open or robotic prostatectomy, cryoablation or brachytherapy for localized prostate cancer.

In cryoablation, an ultrasound-guided probe is inserted into the fibroadenoma through a small incision in the breast.

Renal cryoablation is moderately effective in smaller tumors found in the kidney and adrenal gland.

Cryoablation is used in two types of intervention for the treatment of arrhythmias: (1) catheter-based procedures and (2) surgical operations.

Cryotherapy (cryoablation).

Cryoablation for AVNRT and other arrhythmias do have some drawbacks.
