Palliative cryotherapy in inoperable prostate carcinoma.

Cryotherapy was applied by us as a palliative in 91 cases of carcinoma of the prostate. 1. Disobstruction was achieved in 87% of patients. 2. Results proved stable over time. 3. Operating mortality, survival curve, number of deaths, etc. was not statistically different in patients treated with cryotherapy compared with patients undergoing other treatments. 4. Precutions are required to combat infection of cryotherapy patients in the first few weeks. We feel authorized to pursue cryotherapy in the future exploiting all its immunologic possibilities.
