Summary

Hepatic cryotherapy is a relatively new technique used to treat both primary and secondary tumours. The paper concerns the changes in serum aspartate transaminase in 45 patients following both single and double freeze with partial thaw cycles. The finding indicates greater hepatocellular disruption which may be important both in planning clinical hepatic cryosurgery to achieve adequate destruction and also to avoid the morbidity of the cryoshock phenomenon.
