Cryo Therapy, New Treatment For Cancer Patients

Good news for cancer patients in Indonesia. Now introduced a new way of diagnosis and treatment of diseases that until now have not found that cure. It was called the cold therapy treatment (cryo).

Therapy, in order to melt the existing tumor cells by way of cooling it. Cryo therapy is usually done using a needle medium temperature to below 0, or minus 100 º Celsius.

According to Chief of Cryo Surgery International Prof. Franco Lugnani, privileges cold therapy on the patients is not need surgery on the affected body parts of cancer cells.

"Just find out the presence of cancer from CT-Scan, and then stay cryo needle through the skin surface," Franco said at a press conference health seminar titled Recent Advances in Cancer Diagnosis & Therapy in Jakarta, yesterday.

Cyrotherapy experts from China, Prof. Chen Xu, Go said, the number of cases in certain cancer patients that they handle, cold therapy proved more effective and more successful than surgical removal. Particular case in question, such as prostate and liver cancers above stage II or have been large.

Chen explains, most cases in China, the cancer patients for treatment is to stage the cancer has already reached a high stage, ie stage III and IV. "When the tumor size was large, yeah should be used with cryo shortlisted, only then can the operation," said a doctor who claimed to have done almost 1000 times that of therapy.

Cold therapy, according to Associate Professor of Surgery University of Bern, Switzerland Hhans Baer U, is also very useful for treating patients with pancreatic cancer. Pancreatic cancer is known so far the most difficult to treat. The presence of cold therapy as a palliative, ie businesses with 'hope' shrink tumors and reduce pain experienced by the patient, who so far can not be done by chemotherapy.

Many parties acknowledge that the cryo therapy is not new in medicine. According to Franco, this therapy has been found about a century ago. However, how 'old' is becoming obsolete, because the cooling system helped melt the healthy tissue in the periphery or around the tumor.

Until the early 1990s, two experts from the United States (USA) succeeded in refining how cryo therapy, including with the support of advanced technologies. "Thus, cold therapy will not be done without a sophisticated detection devices, such as MRI or CT-Scan," said Franco.
