Cryoablation and high-intensity focused ultrasound
Abstract
The fight against prostate cancer goes beyond radical prostatectomy, radiation therapy, and hormonal therapy. Temperature can also kill cells and proves to be highly successful in this war on prostate cancer. There is no known insensitivity to extremely low or extremely high temperatures.
