Cryoablation

Cryoablation is a technique where cancerous cells are destroyed by freezing them. The technique is generally only used for tumours which are smaller than four centimetres in size. There are only a few hospitals in the UK which offer this procedure.

Cryoablation is recommended for use by NICE.

More details about this technique are provided in the minimally-invasive technology downloadable chart.
