Abstract

Cold therapy has been used for centuries, from Julius Caesar to Mohandas Gandhi, as a potent therapeutic approach. However, it has been largely forgotten in modern medicine. This review explores the history of cold therapy and its potential application as a therapeutic strategy against various diseases, including cancer. We examine the different techniques of cold exposure and the use of other therapeutical approaches, such as , and delivery of . While clinical trials using cold therapy for cancer treatment are still limited, recent research shows promising results in experimental animal cancer models. This area of research is becoming increasingly significant and warrants further investigation.
