Is there a current Cancer Center that is a leader in immunotherapy

Would there be any benefit in taking provenge after treatment when your PSA is low?

Provenge only works when there are metastases - dendritic cells are activated by cancer antigens. There are many trials but so far Provenge is the only approved immunotherapy. The only exception is if a patient has a rare genomic condition.

I'm actively exploring Provenge right now. A little difficult to find providers in this area but I'm pushing outward.

Keep us posted.
