Sipuleucel-T

Sipuleucel-T is a type of cancer treatment specifically used for certain men with advanced prostate cancer. It is a type of immunotherapy that works by training the body’s immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells. The treatment involves collecting a patient’s white blood cells, modifying them in a lab to better target the cancer, and then infusing them back into the patient. While it may not directly shrink tumors, it can help prolong survival and improve quality of life by enhancing the body’s ability to fight the disease.
