This type of therapy is showing good results in cervical cancer patients and will be a matter of time before our PCa brothers will have something available. It works a little like Provenge in that the body kills cancer.

"INO-5150 is Inovio’s dual-antigen SynCon® vaccine targeting prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) and prostate-specific antigen (PSA). INO-5150 was generated by the creation of PSA and PSMA synthetic consensus antigens based on human and primate antigen gene sequences. By creating synthetic consensus gene sequences for the antigens coded by the vaccine that slightly differ from native proteins, the intent of this vaccine design is to help break the body’s tolerance of self-made prostate cancer cells."
