About Me

..
Provenge or Sipuleucel–T is an investigational product that may represent the first in a new class of therapy known as Active Cellular Immunotherapies (ACIs). ACI uses the power of live human cells to re-engage the patient's own immune system.
The goal of active cellular immunotherapy is to turn the immune system "back on" to elicit a specific and long-lasting response against cancer. Although ACIs are being studied in various cancers, prostate cancer may be the first to be treated with them.
To learn more about how Provenge is Designed to Fight Prostate Cancer go to ACI's Dendreon.com

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Men whose prostate cancer has progressed during hormone therapy, you may qualify to participate in a clinical trial that's taking place right now.

<<< PROVENGE DELAYED=LIFE DENIED >>>

Cancer of the prostate is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in men. In 2006, approximately 234,460 men in the United States were diagnosed with prostate cancer and approximately 27,350 died from the disease!

__________________________________________

The FDA Advisory Committee voted overwhelmingly to approve Provenge!

17-0 voted said Provenge was safe!

13-4 voted said Provenge was efficacious!

Yet the FDA overruled its own Advisory Committee and delayed Provenge! Why?

__________________________________________

A question for the FDA Commissioner?

Dr. Andrew von Eschenbach whom will you ask to be the last man to die from prostate cancer before the FDA approves Provenge?
