Abstrakt: Cryosurgical ablation of the prostate has recently received much attention as a therapeutic alternative for the treatment of localized prostatic adenocarcinoma. Biopsies after treatment reveal a variety of dysplastic changes as well as unaltered prostatic glandular epithelial elements. Prostate specific antigen (PSA) remains undetectable in the majority of men. However, in some PSA increases without demonstrable local recurrence.
