Sorry to learn of your experience, but appreciate the balance (pros and cons) in your comments. In my experience, cryoablation experts/practitioners are often found in university settings. To name a few: Brown, Emory, Rochester, Michigan, and WashUMedicine/Mallinckrodt. The first USA breast cryoablation (Dr. Peter Littrup) was in 2003, but 23 years later, availability and acceptance are still limited in this country. The picture is improving for various reasons. For advanced tumors, the pairing of cryoablation (which can generate a systematic immune response) with targeted immunotherapy is showing real potential.
