About Cryotherapy

Cryotherapy, performed by a Radiation Oncologist, is a minimally invasive procedure that uses extreme cold (typically liquid nitrogen or argon gas) to freeze and destroy abnormal or cancerous tissue. It is a targeted treatment often used for localized tumors, particularly when surgery is not an option. The oncologist uses imaging guidance, such as ultrasound or CT scans, to precisely position a thin probe (cryoprobe) into the tumor. The intense cold forms an ice ball that kills the targeted cells. This procedure is valued for its precision, minimal damage to surrounding healthy tissue, and relatively quick recovery. It is commonly used for cancers of the prostate, liver, kidney, and certain skin cancers, offering an effective alternative or adjunct to traditional radiation or surgery.

Key Highlights

Minimally invasive with small incision points.Precise targeting minimizes damage to surrounding healthy tissue.Can be an alternative for patients who are not surgical candidates.Often performed as an outpatient procedure.May be repeatable for recurrent tumors.Typically involves less pain and shorter recovery than open surgery./ul

Who is this surgery for?

Localized primary tumors (e.g., prostate, kidney, liver).
Recurrent tumors in previously irradiated areas.
Palliative treatment to reduce tumor size and alleviate symptoms.
Patients with comorbidities that make major surgery high-risk.
Certain benign conditions like localized bone metastases causing pain.
As a focal therapy for organ-confined cancers.

How to prepare

Complete medical evaluation and imaging (MRI, CT, ultrasound) to map the tumor.
Review of medications; may need to stop blood thinners several days prior.
Fasting for 6-8 hours before the procedure if sedation or anesthesia is used.
Pre-procedure blood tests to assess clotting function and organ health.
Discussion of anesthesia options (local, regional, or general).
Informed consent process detailing the procedure, benefits, and risks.

Risks & possible complications

Bleeding or hematoma at the probe insertion site.
Infection in the treated area or systemically.
Damage to adjacent structures (e.g., nerves, blood vessels, bowel).
Skin damage, blistering, or frostbite near the treatment site.
Post-procedure pain, swelling, or cramping.
Formation of a fistula (abnormal connection) in treated organs.
Incomplete tumor destruction requiring additional treatment.

Recovery & hospital stay

Initial monitoring for a few hours post-procedure for vital signs and pain.
Pain management with prescribed or over-the-counter analgesics.
Application of ice packs to external treatment sites to reduce swelling.
Instructions to avoid strenuous activity and heavy lifting for 1-2 weeks.
Follow-up imaging (e.g., MRI) in weeks/months to assess treatment efficacy.
Monitoring for signs of infection (fever, increased redness, pus).
Gradual return to normal activities as tolerated.

Typical hospital stay: 0-1 days
Expected recovery time: 1-3 weeks

A 72-year-old retired fisherman from Jaffa presented with inoperable liver metastases from colorectal cancer. Dr. Bar Orian implemented stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) in five fractions. The patient, who lived alone and had limited Hebrew proficiency, showed remarkable tumor regression at 3-month follow-up with minimal side effects.
