The right treatment for the right patient.
Cryotherapy is a primary treatment option appropriate for men with low, intermediate or high-risk prostate cancer, so long as the cancer is confined within the prostate gland and has not spread to other organs.

TAILORING THE TREATMENT TO FIT THE MAN.
One advantage of cryotherapy is that the treatment can be tailored to each patient. If the cancer is limited to only a portion of the prostate, your doctor may be able to freeze just the cancerous tissue, thereby sparing the remaining prostate gland and speeding your return to a normal lifestyle. If the cancer is found throughout the gland, your doctor may need to freeze the entire prostate. While the side effects of a total freeze may be higher, the cancer control rate should also be higher. For men with extensive cancer, your doctor might be able to expand the ice into the surrounding tissue, helping to kill any smaller cancers just outside of the prostate gland. Remember, only your doctor can determine what level of cryotherapy treatment is right for you.

CRYOTHERAPY IS REPEATABLE.
Most prostate cancer treatments cannot be repeated; however, cryotherapy offers the unique advantage of repeatability if any cancer cells are detected after initial treatment.

CRYOTHERAPY FOR RECURRENT PROSTATE CANCER.
Cryotherapy may be appropriate for men whose prostate cancer has returned following radiation treatment. Only your doctor will know if you qualify.
