Caught this on msnbc.com today, but it's the first I've heard of it.

I couldn't bring up the article but googled prostate vaccine. It does look promising. the article said it was using the immune system to attack the cancer cells.

Provenge
Another hope for the future - lets just hope to make it there and be able to use it or one of the new "promissing" treatments on the horizon.

There is always hope. Researchers are always looking for that magic bullet and hopefully they will find it even if it is late for us at least the next generation (our children) will.

Greetings, everyone. I caught it on CNBC the morning it was announced. The stock of the company who makes the drug doubled that day. Guess there are a lot of folks out there interested. The clinicals seem to look very promising. David
