What Is It?<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>

Cryoablation is a minimally invasive, image-guided treatment that uses extreme cold to destroy cancerous or benign tumors with precision. A thin needle (cryo-probe) is inserted through the skin under CT, MRI, or ultrasound guidance, and a highly localized ice ball is formed to freeze and ablate the targeted tissue\u2014without the need for open surgery.<\/p>

Cryoablation is used to treat tumors in multiple locations:<\/strong><\/p>

  • Bone<\/strong> (e.g., spine, pelvis, long bones \u2013 for pain relief and stabilization)<\/li>
  • Kidneys<\/strong> (especially small renal masses)<\/li>
  • Lungs<\/strong> (select pulmonary nodules)<\/li>
  • Liver<\/strong> (in primary or metastatic disease)<\/li>
  • Breast<\/strong> ( selected breast lesions)<\/li>
  • Soft tissues<\/strong> (e.g., desmoid tumors, lymph nodes, muscle-based lesions)<\/li><\/ul>

    In some bone procedures, cryoablation is combined with cementoplasty, vertebral implants, or percutaneous screws to further stabilize weakened areas.<\/p>

    Key Benefits<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h4>
    • Precise tumor targeting<\/span><\/b> with minimal impact on surrounding healthy tissues<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>
    • Excellent pain control<\/span><\/b> for bone metastases<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>
    • Preservation of organ function<\/span><\/b> (especially kidneys and lungs)<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>
    • Option for patients who are not candidates for surgery<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>
    • Repeatable and combinable<\/span><\/b> with other therapies like radiotherapy or systemic treatments<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
