Understanding
Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer is the growth of malignant cells in the prostate.
The cells reproduce and may spread beyond the prostate gland.
Learning
About Prostate Cancer Treatment
An exciting new development in prostate cancer treatment has occurred
with cryosurgery, which is more aptly called "cryotherapy"
today. Because it is minimally invasive, prostate cancer cryotherapy
has fewer complications than surgery.

Cryosurgery
is effective for radiotherapy failures
As a salvage for locally recurrent prostate cancer after failed
radiation, targeted cryoablation of the prostate (TCAP) provides
a "significantly better overall quality of life" than
salvage radical prostatectomy, said Aaron E. Katz, MD, at the AUA
annual meeting.
Salvage
Cryotherapy for Recurrent Prostate Cancer After Radiation Therapy
Cryotherapy of the prostate represents a potential treatment for
localized recurrent prostate cancer after radiation therapy. We
report our experience and evaluate the predictive factors for prostatespecific
antigen (PSA) recurrence.
Selection
of Salvage Cryotherapy Patients
Radiation therapy is a main form of therapy for patients with localized
prostate cancer. Despite advances in delivering radiation beams
to the gland, urologists will be faced with managing patients with
rising prostate-specific antigen values and radiation-recurrent
cancer.
