Mayo Clinic's approach
Mayo Clinic radiologists have extensive experience using cryoablation to treat several types of cancer. This means your care team is prepared with the knowledge, experience and resources to provide you with exactly the care you need.
Your Mayo Clinic care team
Cryoablation treatment is directed by a specially trained interventional radiologist who works in collaboration with other experts to coordinate your care. The makeup of your treatment team depends on your situation. But the team could include medical oncologists, radiation oncologists and surgeons from Mayo Clinic Comprehensive Cancer Center, along with other experts, as needed.
Access to the latest treatment techniques
Mayo Clinic radiologists have the latest imaging technology at their disposal to help ensure accuracy. Using imaging technology as a guide, radiologists precisely place cryoprobes in and around the cancer. Advanced imaging technology allows radiologists to monitor treatment in real time.
