Question 4

what is the difference between cryosurgery and cone biopsy?

Accepted Answer

Great: With cryosurgery, the affected area is frozen, which destroys the tissue.  How deep this goes depends on the length of the freeze, although there is a limit to that due to the warming effect of the circulation.  A cone biopsy, now done by loop excision, removes the affected tissue in pieces.  It has an advantage in that the margins can be examined by the pathologist.
