Summary:

Raoul S. Concepcion, MD, FACS, discusses managing prostate cancer with a combination of immunotherapeutic agents and other treatment options. Sipuleucel-T (PROVENGE), the only FDA approved immunotherapy for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), does not attack androgen receptors. Therefore, Dr. Concepcion explores the possibility combining sipuleucel-T with androgen excess inhibitors, like abiraterone or enzalutamide, or a sipuleucel-T/radium-223 combination.

Dr. Concepcion further discusses combination treatments and the topic of using immunotherapy for prostate cancer in his lecture What’s New in Immunotherapy?
