Cryosurgery is a new method of treating prostate cancer. Long-term results of this treatment are not well known. Experience shows that a high percentage of patients have detectable prostate-specific antigen within 2 years after therapy, which raises the possibility of recurrent disease. The best method for evaluating these patients is not yet established. Available diagnostic options are discussed and compared.
