Abstract

Since 1969 cryosurgical perineal destruction of the prostate has been developed at the University of Iowa for treatment of patients with prostatic cancer. The technique of this procedure has been the subject of previous reviews. This is a summary of our experience of patient survival and the effect on local prostatic cancer growth in those patients with various stages of the disease subjected to perineal cryosurgical destruction of their cancer. We also report briefly on our experience in the laboratory where the Dunning tumor model is used to study the effect of cryosurgery as well as combinations of immunological modifications.
