Cryoablation: mechanism of action and devices.

Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology : JVIR
Joseph P Erinjeri, Timothy W I Clark

Abstract

Cryoablation refers to all methods of destroying tissue by freezing. Cryoablation causes cellular damage, death, and necrosis of tissues by direct mechanisms, which cause cold-induced injury to cells, and indirect mechanisms, which cause changes to the cellular microenvironment and impair tissue viability. Cellular injury, both indirect and direct, can be influenced by four factors: cooling rate, target temperature, time at target temperature, and thawing rate. In this review, the authors describe the mechanisms of cellular injury that occur with cryoablation, the major advantages and disadvantages of cryoablation compared with other thermal ablation techniques, and the current commercially available cryoablation ablation systems.

Apoptosis in Cancer

Apoptosis is an important mechanism in cancer. By evading apoptosis, tumors can continue to grow without regulation and metastasize systemically. Many therapies are evaluating the use of pro-apoptotic activation to eliminate cancer growth. Here is the latest research on apoptosis in cancer.
