Cryoablation is a minimally invasive procedure that uses extreme cold temperatures to destroy (ablate) benign or malignant tumors. The tissues targeted for destruction are visualized using imaging guidance such as ultrasound or computed tomography (CT)
Metastasis … third stage in cancer … This spread is named as “locally advanced” if it is adjacent to organs, vessels and regional lymph nodes … and then surgery or percutaneous ablation is performed.
Cryoablation also is used to relieve the pain and other symptoms caused by cancer that spreads to the bone, other organs or lymph nodes. It can be used to treat large tumors that can’t be treated by surgery.
