WHAT PROVENGE IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Provenge is used to control your prostate cancer. It consists of
immune cells (part of your body’s
natural defense system) taken from your own blood (also called
autologous immune cells). These
immune cells are then mixed with an antigen (a protein, which is able
to stimulate your immune
system) at a specific manufacturing facility. When given as a drip
(infusion) into your vein, Provenge
works by teaching your immune cells to recognise and attack prostate
cancer cells.
Provenge is used as treatment for prostate cancer that has spread
outside of the prostate but not to the
liver, lung or brain, and no longer responds to medicines that lower
the levels of the male hormone
testosterone in patients who are not considered appropriate for
treatment with chemotherapy.
