Cryoablation offers several advantages over traditional surgical methods and other ablative techniques:
Minimally Invasive: The procedure requires only small incisions, reducing recovery time and minimizing complications. Precision: Imaging guidance allows for precise targeting of the tumor, sparing surrounding healthy tissue. Outpatient Procedure: Many cryoablation procedures can be performed on an outpatient basis, allowing patients to return home the same day. Repeatable: Cryoablation can be repeated if necessary, providing an option for patients with recurrent cancer. Pain Relief: For patients with bone metastases, cryoablation can provide significant pain relief by destroying the cancerous tissue causing the pain.
