Abstract
Salvage cryoablation is a viable treatment option for patients with prostate cancer in whom radiation therapy has failed. Salvage cryoablation should be performed when serum prostate specific antigen is still relatively low because in these patients the procedure may potentially be curative. Even when cryoablation fails to eradicate the disease in some patients, it allows hormonal therapy to be deferred for a significant period of time in that cohort.
