    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Immunology

    Background:

    • Cryosurgery has a historical basis for treating tumors.
    • The relationship between tumor stage, grade, and cryosurgery outcomes is explored.
    • Immunotherapy presents various strategies for cancer treatment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the history and rationale of cryosurgery for prostate cancer.
    • To detail the perineal surgical approach for cryosurgery.
    • To discuss the clinical efficacy, safety, and survival outcomes of cryosurgery and immunotherapy in prostate cancer management.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of historical data and surgical techniques for cryosurgery.
    • Analysis of clinical studies on cryosurgery's benefits and complications.
    • Description of different immunotherapy categories and their application in prostate cancer.

    Main Results:

    • Cryosurgery demonstrates clinical benefit with a low rate of surgical complications.
    • Patient survival data associated with cryosurgery is presented.
    • Various immunotherapy types (active nonspecific, active specific, passive/adoptive) are outlined for clinical use.

    Conclusions:

    • Cryosurgery is a viable treatment option for prostate cancer, offering significant clinical benefits and manageable complications.
    • Immunotherapy provides diverse treatment modalities for advanced or recurrent prostate cancer.
    • Combined or sequential application of cryosurgery and immunotherapy may enhance treatment outcomes.
