A new patient-friendly way to treat cancer of the esophagus uses a tube-like structure that runs from the throat to the stomach. This new form of cryotherapy, called truFreeze, zaps cancer cells in the esophagus. Patients at Temple University Hospital became the first in Philadelphia to get the new treatment. There’s no surgery, chemotherapy or radiation involved.
