Special Issue on Cryotherapy

Cryotherapy is a therapeutic method to utilize low temperature to freeze local tissue, thus leads to necrosis of diseased tissue cells, and achieves the purpose of treatment. Cryotherapy is widely used to relieve muscle pain, sprains and swelling either via soft tissue damage or postoperative swelling. Cryosurgery is a minimally invasive surgery with the feature of minimal pain, scarring, and cost. However, as with any medical treatment, it has risks since it may damage the nearby healthy tissues, especially the nerve tissue.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original researches and review articles on exploring cryotherapy. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Prostate cancer cryosurgery
• Hepatic cryosurgery
• Cutaneous cryosurgery
• Whole-body cryotherapy
• Cryotherapy in sports medicine
• Cryotherapy for retinopathy of prematurity

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly notice that the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title is supposed to be specified and the research field “Special Issue – Cryotherapy” should be chosen during your submission.
