     June 11-12, 2022, Vienna, Austria. The conference
addressed a wide range
of issues related to
the development of various areas
of cryomedicine. Interesting reports on cryosurgical treatment using modern minimally invasive cryosurgical equipment and equipment for imaging such minimally invasive cryosurgical operations, reports on the problems of cryosurgery of the pancreas are presented. The most interesting reports of Chinese and Japanese colleagues were devoted to such areas of cryomedicine as cryoncology and cryoimmunology. The prospects for the development of cryosurgery are primarily due to the development of these areas in cryomedicine and their combination in the treatment of various oncological diseases, since cryosurgical treatment, unlike all other surgical methods of treatment, in itself has a powerful immunomodulatory effect and organotypic repair in the postoperative period. We would like to express our deep gratitude to the President of the International Cryosurgical Society Prof. Dr. Nikolai N. Korpan, Chairman of the Japanese Society of Low Temperature Medicine Prof. Dr. Masaji Watanabe, moderators of the conference Prof. Dr. Yaron Har-Shai, Prof. Dr. Yehuda Kolander, Prof. Dr. Lizhi Niu, Prof. Dr. Bo Zhai and to all participants of the conference, for the opportunity to participate in the conference. On behalf of
the Interregional Institute
for Staff Training and the Edelweiss
Center for Medicine and
Dentistry, congratulations to the International Cryosurgical Society on
its anniversary! We wish you every
success in your work,
new breakthroughs
and scientific
victories! |
 The conference was held in September 2019, on the initiative of Professor Aron Har-Shai, Head of the Plastic Surgery Department at Carmel Hospital. The Haifa conference featured
more than 60 presentations
on the use of cold
in many
fields of medicine, including
orthopedics, dermatology, urology, breast
and thoracic
surgery, gynecology, and cardiology. In addition, there were reports on cryoimmunology (one of the most promising areas of cryosurgery) and reports on new developments in cryosurgical equipment. The conference was attended by leading cryosurgery experts, including the pioneer in this field, Professor John Bost, UNESCO's chief specialist in cryobiology. "Cryosurgery has not yet received proper recognition,– says Prof. Har-Shai, but the interest in her is growing in the world. There are many researchers and practitioners working in this field. The theoretical and clinical work, as well as the new equipment, are amazing. New methods of tumor treatment combine cryosurgery and immunotherapy, and the parallel use of freezing and immunopreparations gives good results". "There are many medical centers in the world that use cryosurgical techniques," he says. – For example, local freezing makes it possible to eliminate a focus in the heart that provokes arrhythmia. The procedure is performed through a catheter, avoiding a complicated and dangerous operation. Another application is the treatment of prostate tumors. The doctor inserts needles into the tumor through the rectum and freezes it with liquid nitrogen." The professor himself specializes in the removal of keloid scars (rough scars that can form, for example, after burns) and skin tumors and achieves excellent clinical results. He explains that thanks to advances in technology, many procedures have become possible to perform percutaneously under ultrasound control without resorting to surgery. Doctors insert needles into the tumor and through them deliver liquid argon or nitrogen to the pathological focus, freezing it. Clinical studies have shown that cryosurgical procedures already exist, which in the long term are not inferior to traditional cancer treatment methods – surgery and radiation. At the same time, these methods give much fewer complications.

 The Institute of Cryosurgery of the private Austrian clinic Rudolfinerhaus was founded by Professor Nikolai Korpan. Objective: Nikolay Nikolaevich KORPAN (born December 24, 1956) is a Doctor of medical Sciences, professor. Graduated from Kyiv National Medical University. His professional development took place under the guidance of renowned surgeon and scientist V.Zemskov, who supported a talented young colleague in his scientific research in the promising field of modern medicine — cryosurgery. Since 1992, he has been working as a surgeon in medical institutions in Austria. In 1997, he established the International Institute of Cryosurgery. Since 2001, N.Korpan has been a professor and surgeon at the famous Rudolfinerhaus clinic. He is the author of over 200 scientific papers, including the two-volume English-language monograph "Fundamentals of Cryosurgery" and "Atlas of Cryosurgery" (2001), called by foreign experts the "bible of cryosurgery".
Professor Korpan and his colleagues, in collaboration with other international scientific institutes, have developed new cryosurgery methods for the surgical treatment of patients with liver and pancreatic cancer, breast tumors, lymph node metastases, and skin cancer recurrence. Cryosurgery is used in the treatment of oncology as an independent treatment method and in addition to other accepted cancer therapy regimens.
"Ukrainian specialists have achieved a lot in cryosurgery," says Academician Alexander Shalimov, Chief Surgeon of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. "We have the best equipment in the world, which allows us to bring a long-known method to a completely new level. I saw in the video how Professor Korpan opened the liver and froze an inoperable, from my point of view, tumor. After that, the patient has been living for two years, but there are no metastases. This is a very big achievement." "First of all, we will focus on oncology, although cryodestruction is used in gynecology, proctology, and even cosmetology," says Nikolai Korpan. "Malignant tumors are the second leading cause of premature mortality in the world. Such patients cannot wait. I think cryosurgery will make a revolution here. Approaches to cancer treatment need to be completely changed. It's absurd.: We've been removing tumors for a hundred years without thinking about why it doesn't make most patients feel better. Here is a real case: the man had a tumor on his toe. When he came to us, he had already undergone six operations. First, the tumor itself was removed, then the finger, after a while the foot, a third of the shin, the entire shin, and the thigh… When I assigned him cryodestruction of the tumor, he asked his son, a student at the Vienna Medical Institute, to be an assistant during the operation. I agreed. The guy saw everything I did to his dad. There is no mystery here. After this operation, the father has been living for three years, and the tumor no longer develops. There is no answer yet to the question of what happens in the body at the cellular level at the time of exposure to cold. That's the mystery. By solving it, humanity may defeat cancer completely." |
