I just came upon this web site and I would like to know if any of you
have any experience with this?

QUOTE from web site:

Cryocare® TCAP (Targeted Cryoablation of the Prostate) is a
minimally invasive procedure that uses ice to destroy prostate cancer.
-40°C temperature is instantly lethal to cancer, resulting in
immediate cancer cell death.

Cryocare TCAP is approved by Medicare as a primary treatment for
prostate cancer. It's also approved for prostate cancer that returns
after any type of radiation.

Today over 350 published studies help document the clinical value of
cryoablation as a treatment of prostate cancer. And recent 10 year data
provides evidence of cryoablation's long-term durability. The Cryocare
procedure has been performed on thousands of men by hundreds of doctors
nationwide.

Thanks,
Anna

See the thread "freezing as a treatment for pca" beginning 10/20, below.

If they are "targeting" PCa, how do they know that they are treating
*all* the PCa cells?
