Cryosurgery for benign, but also for small malignant botuitzaaiingen - 95% of bone tumors and healing successfully applied in Nijmegen, measured after a minimum of two years follow-up. According to a study published in The Lancet of January 6, 2005. Too bad the abstract is so short and brief because the size of bone tumors were used is not listed, nor whether any such bone metastases of prostate or breast cancer have been treated. Quite a remarkable result because the researchers are talking about 95 to 100% healing effect after two years. And result is similar to the researchers at least minimal surgical removal and superior to more extensive surgery to remove the primary for such chrondosarcomen

Cryosurgery is a method of treatment for tumoren Various Artists That induces tissue necrosis with ablative intent. It is Used in benign, aggressive, and low-grade malignant bone tumoren Such As grade 1 chondrosarcoma. We describe the history of the technique and the issues associated with cryobiology, as well as the indication list, Technique, Complications, and results of cryosurgery. At the University Medical Centre Nijmegen, Netherlands, 302 tumoren Have Been Treated by use of cryosurgery with at least 2 years' follow-up. 96-100% of Patients Were cured the response depended on tumor type. Comparison of functional results with data from studies That thesis shows results competitive with Other studies on cryosurgery, and are at least equal to results of marginal and mostly better than Those excision or wide excision or grade 1 chondrosarcomas. Galanthus from an oncological point of view, combined with cryosurgery Intralesional excision is equal to marginal excision.
