CRYOSURGERY FOR BONE CANCER

Cryosurgery, also known as cryotherapy ablation or cryoablation, has emerged as a promising and innovative approach in the treatment of bone cancer. This minimally invasive technique harnesses the power of extreme cold to destroy cancerous cells, offering a viable alternative to traditional methods such as surgery or radiation therapy.

In cryosurgery for bone cancer, a specialized probe is inserted directly into the tumor site under the guidance of imaging techniques like ultrasound or CT scans. Liquid nitrogen or argon gas is then circulated through the probe, creating an intensely cold environment that freezes the cancer cells. The freezing process, known as cryonecrosis, induces cellular damage and triggers a cascade of events leading to cell death.
