What is Cryotheray Prostate Cancer?

Cryotherapy Prostate Cancer is the application of tremendous cold to destroy strange or unhealthy tissue. The word comes since the Greek vocabulary.

Cryotherapy is used to treat a number of diseases and disorders, especially a variety of benign and malignant skin conditions.

The goal of cryotherapy prostate cancer is to get rid of prostate cancer by forming an ice crystals on contact with a surface of  prostate gland. The doctor put needles inside the prostate gland through the region of the abdomen surrounding the urogenital and anal openings or so call perineum. The needles turn out very cold temperatures. Freezing demolish the whole prostate, together with any cancerous tissue inside it.

The most general technique for cryotherapy prostate cancer  is using liquid nitrogen as the cooling key. The super-cooled liquid may be sprayed on the unhealthy tissue, spread through a tube called a cryoprobe, or just dabbed on with a cotton or foam swab. 

Even though the method hasn't been around as long as surgical procedure (it began in the 1990s), its achievement rate is roughly the same as surgery and radiotherapy.
