Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Cancer Therapies
  • Interventional Radiology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Cryoablation, a cancer treatment using cold, traditionally required surgery.
  • Advancements in probe technology and imaging guidance have enabled percutaneous cryoablation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the techniques and clinical applications of percutaneous cryoablation.
  • To highlight the evolution from surgical to image-guided percutaneous procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Percutaneous cryoablation performed under computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance (MR) imaging guidance.
  • Use of small, specialized probes for targeted tumor ablation.
  • Intraprocedural monitoring to ensure complete tumor treatment and avoid complications.
