View in English: Provenge
Provenge
Vacuna elaborada con las células del sistema inmunitario obtenidas de un paciente con cáncer de próstata. Las células se tratan en el laboratorio con un factor de crecimiento adherido a una proteína en las células cancerosas de la próstata. Cuando se inyecta Provenge en los pacientes, la vacuna puede estimular a los linfocitos T a que destruyan las células tumorales que expresan la proteína de la próstata. También se llama APC8015 y Sipuleucel-T.
