Abstract
Vaccine therapy may provide an alternative for prostate cancer patients whose disease no longer responds to hormone therapy. Administration of dendritic cells pulsed with prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) induces cellular immune responses against the tumor with virtually no adverse effects. About 30% of the evaluable patients were identified as partial responders, based on the National Prostate Cancer Project (NPCP) criteria. In addition, there was a 50% decrease of serum prostate-specific antigen or resolution of previously measurable lesions on imaging. Dendritic cell vaccine therapy may have a synergistic effect, when combined with other therapies.
