  • Title: ["Cryotherapy" (in general surgery and related areas)].
    Author: Tanaka S.
    Journal: Gan No Rinsho; 1985 May; 31(6 Suppl):712-20. PubMed ID: 3897620.
    Abstract:
    Application of the extremely low temperature to medicine, essential of cryotherapy/cryosurgery is a "High Energy Treatment", excellent in cost benefit. Tissue temperature of -50 degrees C or tissue impedance of 500 k omega can destroy the tumor. Cryosurgery provides dual prominent features: in situ destruction of the tumor which otherwise are difficult to treat, and the potential tumor-specific immunotherapy. Thus cryotherapy/cryosurgery should be incorporated into the multi-disciplinary regimen against cancer. Future problems include: clinical application of cryoimmunotherapy or cryoimmunointensification therapy, endoscopic cryosurgery as a closed surgery, and cryochemotherapy, a new mode of treatment.
