How is PROVENGE immunotherapy different?

PROVENGE immunotherapy is different from other prostate cancer treatments because it can activate your own immune system to seek out and attack your advanced prostate cancer. PROVENGE immunotherapy helps certain men with mCRPC who do not take prescription medicine for cancer-related pain live longer and treatment takes only about 1 month. Activate the PROVENGE difference.
