You’ve heard of express spa sessions of 45 minutes that have caught the attention of busy professionals. Now, advancements in cryotherapy treatment using cold temperatures have made it possible to treat early-stage cancers. This is achieved in the time span you order and polish off a pizza. And the good news is that it will be available in India “in the near future,” says Dr Vijay Agarwal, Lead and Senior Consultant at Medical Oncology, Aster RV Hospital, Bengaluru.
Before you hail cryoablation therapy as the next big treatment modality, you will need to remember that it can work only on early stage breast or cervical cancer. It cannot be used in advanced stages of any type of cancer because it kills only local and early cancerous cells, not the cells that have spread outside the organ. Also, this therapy modality cannot be administered to all early cancer patients because it has high chances of failure if the patient selection is not right.
