CRYOTHERAPY

Cryotherapy Therapy, also known as “Argon-Helium Knife Cryotherapy” or cryoablation, is a new substitute of traditional physical therapy. It is generally known as an “extreme cold + extreme heat” cancer treatment. Generally, the Argon can freeze the tumor lesions to 120℃~180℃ below zero, which leads them to coagulation necrosis; after that, the Helium can rapidly heat it up to 20℃~40℃, which can unfreeze the hard ice and lead blasting. This whole process will effectively destroy the tumor tissues. All aspects, such as the speed and time of cooling and heating up, the size and shape of the ice hockey, can be precisely set up and controlled.

Four Advantages of Cryotherapy

Provide minimally invasive therapy for patients who can not do surgery
The surgical trauma is big, and more than 70%~80% of cancer patients have lost the opportunity to have conventional radical surgery treatment. Cryotherapy, which aims at completely destroy the tumor cells and eliminate their load, provide new option for clinical treatment of tumors.

A new minimally invasive therapy comparable with traditional surgery
Nowadays although resection surgery is still the best choice for clinical treatment of tumors, series of problems such as much bleeding during operation, serious surgical pain, high rate of recurrence and metastasis, etc.have made patients fear of surgery. Argon-Helium knife cryotherapy is similar to surgical resection, but it has little damage and quick recovery, which provides a relatively safe and reliable way for patients who are fear or worried about having surgery.

Provide new option for cancer radical surgery
For the tumor tissues contain rich blood, the intraoperative bleeding and squeezing is one of the reasons for early postoperative metastasis. Argon-Helium knife has many advantages such as easy handling, short course, quick recovery, no bleeding, etc. Freeze the tumor tissues before operation, which obviously reduces the rate of postoperative metastasis and recurrence, as well as prolongs their survival time.

New hope for late-stage cancer patients
Based on the micro-invasive property of cryotherapy and its thoroughness in destroying solid tumors, all the patients, who have late-stage spread of their cancers or have treatment failure, can still have options for doing cryotherapy treatment. It can rapidly reduce the tumor load to its maximum limit, quickly release their pain and effectively prolong their life time.
