Overview

Modern cryoablation of the prostate is a constantly developing technique for the definitive treatment of localized prostate cancer that has evolved over three main generations into a safer and more successful therapy nowadays. Technical improvements have occurred secondary to advancements in engineering, procedural refinement, temperature monitoring, and a better understanding of cryobiology at the molecular level. Cryotherapy for prostate cancer has become a feasible option proposed as a viable alternative to traditional radical surgery and radiation therapy.

Key words:
prostate cancer, review, cryoablation, focal therapy
