| Core Tip |
Cryotherapy is an increasingly used treatment modality in the esophagus. This therapy has demonstrated to be safe and effective, particularly for Barrett esophagus, though a randomized trial comparing cryotherapy to the standard treatment with radiofrequency ablation is still lacking. Interestingly, the potential of cryotherapy extends far beyond Barrett esophagus, with applications for a variety of other esophageal conditions and the ability to boost the immune system. Understanding the role of cryotherapy on the host’s anti-tumor response, both alone and in combination with immunotherapy, remains a major area of interest for future research, and holds potential for significant advancements in cancer treatment. |
