Cryosurgery or Cryotherapy is a minimally invasive treatment that subjects the use of extremely cold temperatures to freeze and destroy diseased tissues, largely used in the treatment of cancer. To freeze the diseased cells, (inside or outside the body) liquid nitrogen, argon gas, carbon dioxide gas & dimethyl ether- propane are applied. Some image guiding techniques such as ultrasound, computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance (MR) are also used in the practice of cryotherapy. Being a minimally intrusive procedure, cryosurgery is largely preferred over open surgeries. Moreover, there is a minimal side effect to this practice as its application is localized and restricted to the abnormal tissues only. The immense demand for such procedures are increasing and boosting the cryosurgery market. Skilled healthcare professionals, available disposable incomes and favorable reimbursement policies are the key factors responsible for market growth. Every market has its pros & cons, as does the cryosurgery market.
