Cryosurgery, also known as cryoablation or cryotherapy, kills tumor cells by freezing them. The process also incites an immune response within the ablated tumor. Giving monoclonal antibodies such as pembrolizumab which enhance a systemic anti-cancer immune response, may augment the effects of cryosurgery and increase tumor killing at distant (metastatic) sites.', 'detailedDescription': 'PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:\n\nI.
