Treating Kidney Cancer
with Cryoablation 

Choose a Minimally Invasive Treatment

At IceCure, we believe patients with kidney cancer* deserve a minimally invasive treatment choice. IceCure’s FDA and CE-marked ProSense Cryoablation System offers a fast, safe and effective minimally-invasive procedure for the treatment of benign and cancerous kidney tumors with minimal pain and scarring.

Large studies show cryoablation for kidney cancer has comparable oncological outcomes to surgery, with fewer complications and a shorter hospital stay1.

Treating Breast Tumors with Cryoablation

Choose cryoablation with IceCure first

At IceCure, we believe in choice. The ProSense Cryoablation System expands choice by providing a minimally invasive option to freeze and destroy breast tumors without removing them (lumpectomy), allowing women to maintain the shape of their breast. ProSense uniquely enables a fast and convenient office-based procedure with minimal pain and fewer complications compared to surgical alternatives.

Testimonials

“Cryoablation for renal tumors is feasible, safe, efficient, cost-effective with a low complication rate and can easily be repeated. It is a noticeably quick procedure compared to surgery; patients we treat in the morning are heading to lunch by noon.”

Choose a Better Treatment Experience

With minimal pain, scarring and a faster recovery, ProSense’s minimally invasive cryoablation procedure offers an enhanced treatment experience:

  • Fast and easy procedure: Cryoablation procedure takes about 1 hour from start to finish helping save physicians time and reduce waiting times
  • Rapid recovery: Overnight hospital stay on average for observation, helping lower hospital costs with some patients able to go home that same day
  • Minimal pain and discomfort: Only a small incision is made for the needle-like cryoprobe and the cooling from the cryoablation itself reduces pain
  • Can be performed under light sedation: Eliminates risks from general anesthesia required during surgery
  • Works with existing chemotherapy, radiation, or immunotherapy
  • Repeatable procedure: Allows for further treatment and potentially reduces the impact of higher local recurrence after a single ablation3
  • Suitable for patients who have had a partial nephrectomy: Cryoablation targets only a small area of the organ leaving healthy tissue intact
  • Easy to use and efficient: Powerful liquid nitrogen freezing without gas line restrictions, user friendly touch screen system and unique single cryoprobe system helps saves time and cost

Choose Cryoablation for Advanced Kidney Care 

Cryoablation for kidney tumors is a fast, safe and effective minimally invasive procedure providing an additional treatment option to higher-risk surgical interventions. Using CT imaging, a small cryoprobe (like a thin hollow needle) is guided into the tumor and the ice ball growth is monitored. Extremely cold temperatures are applied to freeze and destroy the benign or cancerous tissue.
