Cryosurgery in prostatic cancer: survival

W W Bonney, B Fallon, W L Gerber

    Urology
    |January 1, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary

    Cryosurgery for prostate cancer demonstrated comparable survival rates to total prostatectomy and other treatments, even in advanced cases. This safe and effective method shows promise for local lesion eradication and improved patient outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Prostate cancer treatment has evolved, with various modalities offering different survival outcomes.
    • Cryosurgery emerged as a potential therapeutic option for localized and advanced prostate cancer.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the survival rates of patients treated with cryosurgery for prostate cancer.
    • To compare cryosurgery outcomes with other established treatments like prostatectomy and radiation therapy.

    Main Methods:

    • A retrospective analysis of 229 prostate cancer cases treated with cryosurgery between 1969 and 1976.
    • Comparison of survival data across different treatment groups, including cryosurgery, total prostatectomy, and radiation therapy.

    Main Results:

    • Cryosurgery showed survival rates comparable to total prostatectomy across all stages.

  • The treatment favorably compared to other modalities, including radiation therapy, despite a high proportion of large tumors and high-risk patients.
  • Eradication of the local lesion correlated with improved survival, even in advanced prostate cancer cases.

    • Conclusions:

    • Cryosurgery is presented as a safe and effective treatment for prostate cancer.
    • The data supports cryosurgery as a viable option, particularly for local lesion control and improved survival outcomes.
