INTERVENTIONAL ONCOLOGY

Ablation solutions

Evidence you can trust.
Ablation you can see.
Redefine the outcome.


Backed by rigorous clinical research and unrivalled educational support, our ablation and cryoablation solutions offer visibility and control, challenging standards of care across a variety of cancers and painful conditions. 


What is cryoablation?

Building on our commitment to advancing the field of interventional oncology, Boston Scientific has added the most advanced cryoablation technology to its portfolio of minimally invasive therapies.

Cryoablation is an innovative technology that alternates freezing and thawing to destroy cancer cells. It offers minimally invasive destruction of tumours without the need for open surgery.

Cryoablation can be used to treat renal cell carcinoma, lung, prostate and bone cancer, soft tissue sarcomas and desmoid tumours, among others. It’s also effective in controlling cancer pain.

  • Progressive cryoablation software platforms simplify procedure
  • Advanced technology drives innovative capabilities
  • Flexibility of needle options to tailor your treatment
  • Precise control allows you to sculpt your optimal ablation zone

What are the benefits of cryoablation?

Benefits for clinicians

Cryoablation offers clinicians a number of unique advantages:

  • Treatment zone visibility and control
  • Ability to treat multiple tumours in one session
  • Ability to use ice in proximity to critical structures/vasculature
  • Ability to use multiple probes to “sculpt” the shape of the iceball and ablate larger tumours
  • Repeatability of the treatment

Benefits for patients

Cryoablation provides excellent patient benefits and outcomes:

  • Less blood loss versus surgery
  • Excellent safety and efficacy profiles
  • Options for conscious sedation with local anaesthesia
  • Short hospital stay, low morbidity and rapid recovery
  • Durable low incidence of tumour recurrence and low risk of metastatic progression
  • Exceptional tumour control following single treatment
  • Repeatable procedure
