Endocare™ cryoablation therapy is a specialized type of cryotherapy for the minimally invasive treatment of cancer of the prostate, kidney and lung as well as liver metastases and palliative intervention. Prostate salvage cryotherapy is a form of treatment administered when radiation therapy has not been successful and a growing amount of evidence supports the use of cryotherapy for patients with localized prostate cancer following radiation therapy (Jones JS. European Urology 2011; 60:411-412).
Utilization of cryotherapy for the treatment of small tumors of the kidney has also increased in recent years due to the fact that, in addition to urologic cryosurgeons, interventional radiologists can perform cryotherapy with high precision using computerized tomography (CT) scanning under either general anesthesia or conscious sedation.
