Innovare Journal Health Sciences https://innovareacademics.in/journals/index.php/ijhs <p>Innovare Journal of Health Sciences is a peer-reviewed and open-access Journal published annually. Onward Jan 2021, it follows a continuous publishing model and the accepted articles are published online immediately (single volume with a single issue for each calendar year). It is dedicated to publishing research work in all aspects of Health Sciences either as an Original Article or as a Short Communication. Case studies/reports are also considered, along with Review Articles on the current topics in the fields.

Using agents such as liquid nitrogen or argon gas, it achieves temperatures as low as -196°C, resulting in the development of intracellular ice crystals that destroy cellular structures and induce death. Its uses are many, ranging from dermatology to gynecology to oncology, with a rising interest in its ability to treat localized solid tumors, such as prostate, breast, and liver cancer. Cryotherapy has several advantages, including being less intrusive, protecting surrounding healthy tissues, and activating immunological responses. The hurdles include standardising techniques, enhancing effectiveness in metastatic malignancies, and overcoming economic limitations. This study investigates cryotherapy's mechanics, therapeutic uses, and its interaction with immunotherapy.</p> TANMAY MOHANTA JAGJOT GAUTAM AMRIT PAUL ANIL P SAO Copyright (c) 2025 TANMAY MOHANTA, JAGJOT GAUTAM, AMRIT PAUL, ANIL P SAO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2025-01-01 2025-01-01 1 6 10.22159/ijhs.2025v13.IJHS_53077
