What are the advantages of salvage cryotherapy?
Unlike hormones, cryotherapy is a curative treatment for patients who have recurrent prostate cancer (i.e. failed radiation). It is:
- Minimally invasive (no incisions)
- Outpatient procedure-leave the hospital the same day
- Quick recovery- Most patients are back to normal activity within a few days
- Can be repeated, if necessary
- No radiation
- FDA cleared
- Covered by Medicare and most insurance companies
