Suitable T stage for cryosurgery to spare the anus in patients with low rectal cancer
Cryobiology. 2023 May 12:S0011-2240(23)00036-6. doi: 10.1016/j.cryobiol.2023.05.004. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSphincter preserving therapy is a key research focus for treating low rectal cancer; however, the role of cryotherapy in this process has seldom been reported in the literature. Therefore, we conducted a comprehensive report on the role of cryoablation in sphincter preservation and explored its effect in rectal cancers. An observational study used longitudinal observation and follow-up. Participants were screened from patients whose medical records showed cryotherapy intervention for low rectal cancers from Ja...

Sensors, Vol. 23, Pages 2690: A Fiber Optic Sensor for Monitoring the Spectral Alterations and Depth in Ex Vivo and In Vivo Cryosurgery
This article discusses how to monitor the freezing depth during cryotherapy using a fiber optic array sensor. The sensor was used to measure the backscattered and transmitted light from frozen and unfrozen ex vivo porcine tissue and in vivo human skin tissue (finger). The technique exploited the variations in optical diffusion properties of the frozen and unfrozen tissues to determine the extent of freezing. Ex vivo and in vivo measurements yielded comparable results, despite spectral variations attributable to the hemoglobin absorption peak in the human frozen and unfrozen tissues. However, because the spectral fingerprin...

Prospective Clinical Trial on Expanding Indications for Cryosurgery for Early Breast Cancers
CONCLUSION: Residual cancer occurs at the periphery of the cryoablation site, careful pre-operative planning and intra-operative monitoring is crucial to ensure complete cryoablation.PMID:36805386 | DOI:10.1016/j.clbc.2023.01.007 (Source: Clinical Genitourinary Cancer)

Transbronchial cryobiopsy in lung transplantation: risk, reward and relevance
Development of transbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBLC) technology was inspired by the Joule–Thomson principle, where rapid freezing occurs with the sudden expansion of certain gases as they move from a high-pressure to a low-pressure environment. Harnessing this phenomenon in a catheter tip which has the flexibility to be manoeuvred into awkward positions via flexible bronchoscope allows peripheral lung tissue to be sampled. The diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities of flexible bronchoscopy have expanded considerably since its first use by Sanderson et al. [1] for the cryoablation of an endobronchial tumour; bronchos...

Feasibility and safety of percutaneous cryoablation under local anesthesia for the treatment of malignant lung tumors: a retrospective cohort study
CONCLUSIONS: Cryoablation is a feasible and safe treatment for malignant lung tumors with acceptable adverse event rates. However, the mortality risk in patients with comorbid interstitial pneumonia should be fully recognized.PMID:36524096 | PMC:PMC9745531 | DOI:10.21037/jtd-22-830 (Source: Journal of Thoracic Disease)
