“…The third generation of cryoablation devices significantly reduced the morbidity associated with the procedure compared to earlier generation devices. Cryoablation still has the same stigma associated with older devices, which turns some urologic oncologists away from offering this treatment option to their patients ( 7 - 9 ). Incontinence rates after salvage cryoablation decreased from 73% with older generation cryoablation device to 9.7% ( 5 ).…”

“…Cryotherapy became an alternative for salvage RP in patients with locally recurrent prostate cancer following RT because of the potential to reduce morbidity ( 7 ). Third-generation cryotherapy devices reduce morbidity because they allow a more precise ice ball formation and the flexibility to place additional probes where needed to selectively target sites of recurrence ( 7 - 9 ). Also, the potential of focal ablation of the tumor instead of whole gland ablation is becoming a hot topic among ablative techniques ( 8 , 9 ).…”

ABSTR AC TPurpose Local ablative therapies have become an established treatment option in interventional oncology. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and microwave ablation (MWA) are a standard of care in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Currently, there is an increasing interest in cryotherapy, one of the oldest ablation techniques. It has some unique characteristics with regard to technology and mechanism of action.Materials and Methods A systematic literature search using the terms cryotherapy, cryosurgery and cryoablation was performed. Selected studies are presented dealing with the mechanism of action, cryobiology and clinical use of percutaneous, image-guided cryoablation. Recent developments and perspectives are presented.Results Cryotherapy is increasingly used and has been included in guidelines for selected tumor entities such as renal cell carcinoma. Cryo-immunotherapy and combination treatments are future areas of interest.Conclusion Cryoabalation may be used in many indications.Its major advantages are its unique visualization and the anesthesiologic effects of cold. While there are only a few prospectively randomized trials, the existing data on the use of cryoablation is promising. Its use appears to be justified in selected tumors, oligometastatic patients and for palliative indications.
