Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Cryosurgery, the destruction of tissue by freezing, is an emerging cancer treatment.
  • Historically, cryosurgery was limited by a lack of precise equipment for inaccessible lesions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the historical development and renewed interest in cryosurgery for cancer treatment.

Main Methods:

  • Review of historical advancements in cryosurgical technology.
  • Examination of the impact of new equipment on treatment capabilities.

Main Results:

  • Development of cryosurgical machines in the 1960s improved precision.
  • This innovation facilitated the treatment of central nervous system (CNS) lesions and spurred interest in cancer applications.

Conclusions:

  • Technological progress has expanded the potential of cryosurgery.
  • Cryosurgery is a developing option for treating solid organ cancers.
