Cryotherapy for prostate cancer

I have had radiotherapy & hormone treatment for prostate cancer in 2015. Sadly it has returned - still contained in my prostate. Who are the cryotherapy experts in the UK - I want to consult with them to see if this is a viable option for me

thanks 

  • Hello and thanks for your post

    I'm sorry your cancer has returned. 

    I'm afraid we don't recommend individual hospitals or specialists. But from looking online I have found a website that lists hospitals and specialist doctors that offer cryotherapy for prostate cancer in the UK. I'm not sure how up to date it is but you might find it helpful. You can read more about this by clicking here.

    Your specialist will need to tell you if cryotherapy is suitable treatment option for you as they are familiar with all your medical details. If they think it is they would need to refer you to a hospital offering this treatment.

    We have information on cryotherapy on our website here that you might find useful. Prostate Cancer UK has some further information here.

    I hope this helps. Give us a ring if you would like to talk anything over. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Kind regards,
