Prostate cryoablation is a significant advancement in the treatment of localized prostate cancer. Less invasive than traditional surgery, this innovative technique treats cancer cells while reducing side effects.
At the Sioufi Urology Clinic, we offer this option to patients who meet specific criteria, in a safe setting supervised by specialists.
What is cryoablation?
Cryoablation involves destroying cancer cells using cold. Under ultrasound guidance, probes are inserted into the prostate to inject argon, lowering the temperature in a targeted manner. The tumor cells are frozen and then rapidly thawed, resulting in their destruction.
This treatment is often offered to patients with early-stage prostate cancer, or to those who cannot undergo more major surgery, such as a prostatectomy.
Benefits of Cryoablation
Non-surgical treatment : no large incision or prolonged hospital stay.
Less risk of complications than conventional surgery.
Faster recovery , often with a return to daily activities within days.
Suitable option for older patients or those with comorbidities.
Who is this treatment for?
Cryoablation is recommended for:
Men with low- or intermediate-risk localized prostate cancer
Patients who have already received treatment such as radiotherapy but require a second intervention
Those looking for an alternative to surgery or radiation therapy
A complete urological assessment is necessary to determine the patient's eligibility for this approach. At the Sioufi Urology Clinic, we evaluate each case individually to propose the most appropriate treatment plan.
Follow-up after cryoablation
Like any cancer treatment, cryoablation requires regular medical monitoring. PSA tests, imaging tests, and consultations are used to monitor progress and ensure the long-term effectiveness of the treatment.
Prostate cryoablation is a modern, effective, and less invasive alternative for treating certain prostate cancers. It offers a new option for patients who wish to avoid surgery or who have contraindications.
At the Sioufi Urology Clinic, we combine expertise, cutting-edge technology, and personalized support to offer you the best treatment options.
