Drug dramatically shrinks Prostate Tumors, study finds - July 23,
2008
There is a general sense in the prostate cancer community that this
agent is extremely promising and is very likely to have an important role in the
management of prostate cancer patients,' said Dr. Howard M. Sandler, a radiation
oncologist at the University of Michigan who is a spokesman for the American
Society of Clinical Oncology.'It's pretty safe to say that we are going to have
a lot more to offer patients when this drug gets approved,' added Dr. Robert
Reiter, a urologist at UCLA's Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center who was not
involved in the research.

help prolong the lives of men with aggressive prostate cancer whose

New
Prostate Cancer Vaccine give hope to Metastatic Prostate Cancer patients - May 24, 2008
A new prostate cancer vaccine may give hope
to men with metastatic prostate cancer by enabling their immune systems to

the adenovirus/PSA (Ad/PSA) vaccine during the Annual Scientific Meeting of the
American Urological Association in Orlando.
In recent years, the concept of vaccine immunotherapy for advanced prostate
cancer has become increasingly high profile as research has expanded. Major
advances in the field have contributed significantly to the discussion of this
important cancer therapy as researchers explore new ways to prolong survival
and improve the quality of life in patients with metastatic disease.
