| Advanced treatment for some patients with prostate cancer is now available at Knox Community Hospital. Cryotherapy is a technique that uses an extremely cold liquid or instrument to freeze and destroy abnormal skin cells that require removal. The technique is also called cryosurgery. The advantages of this type of treatment are that it does not take long, is not invasive, is relatively painless and is comparatively inexpensive. Everyday life can usually be resumed right away.
"This procedure offers an alternative not previously available for folks in Knox County and is usually performed in an outpatient setting," states James Nelson, board certified urologist at Community Urology. For more information about this treatment, contact Community Urology at 740.393.5540.
