Crioterapia: Aplicación de transrectal de congelación
La crioterapia es un tratamiento mínimamente invasivo que elimina las células tumorales mediante la aplicación controlada de temperaturas extremadamente bajas.
A través de un procedimiento guiado por imagen, se crean zonas de congelación que destruyen el tejido canceroso respetando, en la medida de lo posible, las estructuras sanas circundantes. Puede utilizarse como tratamiento principal en casos seleccionados o como alternativa tras otros tratamientos.
La crioterapia ofrece la ventaja de ser una técnica precisa, con una recuperación generalmente rápida y una estancia hospitalaria reducida, lo que la convierte en una opción a considerar para determinados pacientes con cáncer de próstata localizado.
Why do we use this type of biopsy in GUA?
We guarantee the most accurate diagnosis of prostate cancer.
If an elevated PSA (portate-specific antigen) is observed during a urological examination, or if areas of induration are palpated during a digital rectal examination, this technique can be used.
Prostate cancer remains the most common cancer in men, with 1 in 9 men diagnosed. Moreover, it usually has no symptoms until it is in advanced stages. For this reason it is vital to make an early and accurate diagnosis.
At GUA we are always looking for the best tools to assist our patients and this mapping, which fuses the images extracted from the multiparametric MRI with those obtained in the ultrasound, allowing us to obtain a 3D image with which to identify the exact points in which to perform the biopsy, is the best tool at the service of the health of our patients.
