Liquid nitrogen spray cryotherapy (SCT) in central airway disease: a multicenter prospective registry
SCT can be safely used within the central airways, adding the unique capability of delivering flash-freezing temperatures to tissue. This approach shows potential utility in treatment strategies for a wide range of benign and malignant conditions, though further controlled studies would better define these roles.
