When a prostate tumor is discovered in its early stages, the cancer can often be removed by burning, freezing, or cutting out the abnormal cells. Cryosurgery is a fairly new but very promising method of killing cancer cells in the prostate gland by exposing them to extremely cold liquid nitrogen. During prostate cancer cryosurgery, a specialized hollow probe is placed in or on the tumor and liquid nitrogen is released.
