URGENT NEED TO MERGE ARTICLES CRYOSURGERY, CRYOABLATION AND CRYOIMMUNOTHERAPY Out of three larger articles: Cryosurgery, Cryoablation and Cryotherapy, the first two deal with exactly the same subject, without any mutual reference. They should be merged into one article. The third article (Cryoimmunotherapy) covers a small subject, which also should be included in the merged article. Another article: Cryotherapy overlaps that field only partly, so it should stay separate, but cross-referenced. Such merging is really urgent, since these articles deal with little-known but important aspects of cancer treatment - now in a confusing way. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 45.51.77.190 (talk) 18:40, 12 November 2016 (UTC)
Right now the page is far too narrow edit
Cryoablation is far more general than its use in heart-related maladies --it's used in wart treatments and a variety of surgical uses. --Bobak 23:49, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
Cryoablation versus Cryoblation??? edit
Is Cryoablation the same or different than Cryoblation???
If they are the same thing, then something needs to be clarified about there being two spellings, because I've been given reason to believe that "Cryoblation" is NOT a mis-spelling.
If they're NOT the same, then that also needs to be clarified.
Two thoughts edit
I have not been able to find "cryoblation" in any dictionary. Which tends to make me suspect that it might have been the result of a typographical error.
This article should perhaps be combined with that entitled "cryosurgery." Both seem to address pretty much the same subject. And while this article is a bit more comprehensive, the cryosurgery article is much better written.

Obamacare/ACA edit
The section on breast cancer treatment by cryoablation does not provide a reference to substantiate the claim that Obamacare regulation has caused cessation of work on breast cancer treatment. Can someone please provide such a reference? 108.65.32.10 (talk) 03:27, 26 November 2016 (UTC)
