Prostate cancer cryosurgery may be considered when a doctor is sure that cancer is isolated to the prostate gland and that the patient is in relatively good health. Before deciding on the procedure, the doctor can explain what the patient can expect during treatment and the recovery phase. Cryosurgery is preferred by many surgeons and patients over more conventional operations because it is less invasive, generally less expensive, and has a shorter recovery time.
