Cryoablation is a procedure that ablates – or destroys – small kidney tumors using thermal energy to freeze them. This nonsurgical, minimally invasive procedure offers several advantages, including: An alternative treatment to removal of your entire kidney; A success rate of more than 90% for removing the cancer

2022年5月31日 · Cryoablation is a safe and effective treatment option for early stage kidney cancer. It is less invasive than other surgical options. Learn more here.

2025年1月3日 · Cryoablation can be a helpful treatment for many types of cancer, including: Bone cancer. Breast cancer. Kidney cancer. Liver cancer. Lung cancer. Prostate cancer. Cryoablation also may be used to ease pain and other symptoms that can be caused by cancer that has spread to the bone, to other organs or to lymph nodes. Risks

2018年9月18日 · Percutaneous (through the skin) thermal ablation involves inserting a needle, which is guided by a CT scan, to freeze the tumor. This procedure is even less invasive than the laparoscopic approach and typically requires only a one-day hospital stay and as much as three weeks of recovery time.

2020年7月1日 · Doctors are studying a new method of treating stage 1 kidney cancer; by freezing them. Results show this method is as effective as surgery, with similar ten year survival rates. Additionally, as this procedure is minimally invasive, it has a lower rate of complications.

2024年4月3日 · Ablation for kidney cancer uses extreme heat (radiofrequency ablation) or cold (cryoablation) to destroy kidney tumors. Ablation therapy is an effective, less invasive alternative to surgically removing a tumor (partial or radical nephrectomy).

2021年6月24日 · “We use image-guidance to place a probe that directs a freezing agent to the tumor, safely killing it. It is done as an outpatient procedure and has a success rate of greater than 90% for removing cancer.” Your Interventional Radiologist uses CT-guided needle placement, for precise placement to freeze the tumor.

Many patients with early kidney cancer are eligible for minimally invasive procedures to destroy tumors. These treatments minimize side effects, pain and recovery time and can provide an excellent chance to achieve a cure while preserving kidney function.

It can treat small, early stage kidney cancers. What is cryotherapy? Your doctor puts small needles into the cancer. A cold gas is put down the needles to freeze the cancer cells. This kills the cells. This treatment is also called freezing therapy, cryosurgery or cryoablation. It is normally done through the skin into the kidney (percutaneously).

2020年6月9日 · Non-invasively freezing an early-stage kidney tumor can be as effective – and less risky – for patients than surgery, according to a new study. Nearly all patients who qualify for the procedure called percutaneous ablation experience the same 10-year survival rate, said a team of investigators from Johns Hopkins.
