Treating Lung Cancer
with Cryoablation
Choose a Minimally Invasive Treatment
At IceCure, we believe in choice for patients with lung cancer*. IceCure’s ProSense Cryoablation System provides a minimally-invasive solution for treating tumors with minimal discomfort and scarring.
Studies show cryoablation for lung cancer is associated with a good overall long-term survival comparable to radiation therapy (stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT)) and surgery (sublobar resection) with minimal significant complications 1,2,3.

Testimonials
“In 101 patients with T1N0M0 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), we found that utilizing the Liquid Nitrogen (LN2) based ProSense Cryoablation System to be a promising treatment for tumors <1.8cm in size. Furthermore, LN2 systems have higher power and lower cost when compared to argon gas cryoablation systems.”

Choose a Better Treatment Experience
ProSense’s minimally invasive cryoablation procedure provides patients and physicians with an improved treatment experience with minimal pain, reduced scarring, and accelerated recovery.
- Rapid recovery: One day of hospital stay on average, helping lower hospital costs with some patients able to go home that same day
- Short procedure: Up to 2 hours for a cryoablation procedure helping save physicians time and reduce waiting times (surgery is typically 2- 6 hours)
- Minimal pain and discomfort: Cooling from the cryoablation itself reduces pain
- Can be performed under light sedation: Eliminates risks from general anesthesia required during surgery
- Works alongside existing chemotherapy, surgical resection, SBRT, or immunotherapy
- Repeatable procedure: Allows for further treatment and potentially reduces the impact of higher local recurrence after a single ablation
- 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 Lung Cancer
Cryoablation for lung cancer* or benign tumors is a safe and effective minimally invasive procedure providing an additional treatment option to higher-risk surgical interventions or SBRT. Using CT imaging, a specialized cryoprobe (like a thin hollow needle) is guided and inserted into the tumor. Freezing temperatures are applied that grow an ice ball to engulf the tumor and destroy it leaving healthy tissue unharmed.
