University Hospital Offers New Pain Relief Treatment to Cancer Patients

University Hospital in Cleveland is now one of just several hospitals in the country performing cryoablation to provide pain relief to cancer patients, according an NBC 5 Cleveland report.

The hospital’s Seidman Cancer Center performs the procedure, which involves freezing or burning cancer cells with a probe and effectively removing the cells’ painful contact with the bone.

Patients experience pain relief in 12 to 48 hours following the cryoablation procedure.
