Watch a patient testimonial video as Harold describes how STERIS’s trūFreeze Spray Cryotherapy “gave him life” after an esophageal cancer diagnosis. Harold’s story is a remarkable journey about living with stage 4 metastatic esophageal cancer and his treatment with Liquid Nitrogen spray Cryotherapy (LNSC). When Harold was first diagnosed, his life expectancy was six months as cancer had spread from his esophagus to lymph nodes, lung, and backbones. He experienced difficulty swallowing, impacting his ability to eat and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Harold worked with Dr. Gunaratnam and the Huron Gastro and Trinity Health staff to develop a treatment plan that included spray cryotherapy to help clear obstructions in his esophagus. trūFreeze Spray Cryotherapy delivers targeted cryogen to ablate benign and malignant cells by flashfreezing water causing cell death to diseased tissue.

Almost two years later, Harold is back running two businesses and spending time with his family! Harold has less pain, his weight has stabilized, and he can eat all his favorite foods again, as his esophageal lumen has opened significantly with continued cryoablation treatment.
We feel so honored at STERIS Endoscopy that trūFreeze Spray Cryotherapy has helped Harold and given him an improved quality of life. At the time of this post in March 2023, he is now 23months post diagnosis and continuing to improve with the help of trūFreeze Spray Cryotherapy.
