BREAKING NEWS: Survival Increased with Vaccine for Advanced Prostate Cancer
Click here to listen to the webcast

Long-term data, released today from a phase III clinical trial of men with advanced prostate cancer, show overall survival was increased with the use of an anti-cancer vaccine. This is big news not only for men with advanced prostate cancer, but it also gives hope that cancer vaccines can be effective against other advanced cancers. By harnessing a patient's own immune system to fight the cancer, cancer vaccines take a novel approach against these otherwise fatal conditions. Putting the latest news in perspective is Vanderbilt Medical Center Urologic Oncologist Dr. Sam Chang.
