Abstract
- In recent years, cryotherapy has gained increasing acceptance as a treatment for prostate cancer, offering complementary therapeutic benefits when combined with radical surgery and radiotherapy. Despite the potential for surgical complications, it stands as a safe and viable therapeutic modality. Cryotherapy provides an efficient approach for elderly patients, especially those with compromised physical conditions and individuals experiencing recurrence after initial treatment. It has shown promise in extending survival periods and improving the overall quality of life for these patients. This article aims to comprehensively examine the developmental trajectory, surgical techniques, indications, therapeutic outcomes, and potential complications associated within prostate cancer treatment.
