CryoSurgery – Burning cancerous growth with extreme cold
Cryosurgery is the treatment used to remove small cancerous growth from the skin. Liquid Nitrogen, which is one of the coldest substances on earth at a stable temperature of -196 Degrees Celsius is applied to the growth, in effect freezing the cells leaving a lump of frozen tissue that simply falls off as the surrounding area warms up. Liquid Nitrogen is a cryogenic liquid meaning it has the ability to kill/freeze all forms of living tissue resulting in severe frostbite upon contact. Get a rubber ball and immerse it in the stuff and it becomes as fragile as a light bulb shattering into a million pieces. This form of treatment is recommended for smaller skin melanomas due to the danger of treating large areas that can damage more than the afflicted tissue.
