One of the newest drugs pending approval by the FDA is referred to as Provenge. This drug has been developed by a company called Dendreon. Provenge is believed to have fewer side effects than the other toxic drugs currently approved for use in advanced cases of prostate malignancy. The side effects for Provenge are said to be similar to a case of flu and generally cease after 2 or 3 days. Some of the other toxic drugs side effects are so bad they may even result in death in as many as 1% to 2% of the patients administered the drug.
Provenge has been shown in clinical trials, conducted by Dendreon, to extend life up to as much as 4 1/2 months for those with little hope. However, because of new information required by the FDA this drug may not see approval until the year 2010. Because of the controversy surrounding the FDA’s decision on not approving the drug in 2007, lawsuits have been filed in Federal Court. The details about this controversy are well beyond the scope of this article. Therefore the discussion on other treatments will be continued.
Thanks to recent technology advancements one of the proven therapies, Cryotherapy, has taken on new life and new hope. This therapy is using sub zero temperatures to freeze the prostate tumor or tumors. However, it has been most effective during the early stages of prostate cancer.
