Zusammenfassung:A method and device for treating tissue with temperature-sensitizing adjuvants to enhance the effects of ablation therapy. The method may comprise identifying tissue to receive ablation therapy, treating the tissue with a temperature-sensitizing agent, and activating an ablation therapy device proximate the treated tissue. The device may comprise a cryo-sensitizing adjuvant operable in association with a cryotherapy device, the cryo-sensitizing adjuvant enhancing the effectiveness of tissue destruction upon application of temperatures below 0° C.
