Cancer Treatment Methods : Cryosurgery

Advantages Of Cancer Treatment With Cryosurgery

Cancer treatment with cryosurgery has many advantages. Firstly the incision is small where minimal bleeding and pain occur. Thus, we avoid many complications of surgical intervention. Recovery time with cryosurgery is short as well as hospital stay.
 

Sometimes, cancer treatment with cryosurgery requires no hospital stay. Believe it or not, it may be done with local anesthetic. Complications of general anesthesia are serious and all of them are avoided when such simple technique is used. It's considered one day surgery or an outpatient procedure.

Using focus technique makes cryosurgery more safe as the surrounding normal tissue is protected. Cancer treatment can be done with cryosurgery alone or added to other lines of cancer therapy such as radiation therapy, hormonal therapy or chemotherapy.
