Sažetak
Prostate cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers in men and also one of the leading causes of their cancer-related deaths. Despite recent advances in the treatment of metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer, agents providing durable disease control and long-term survival are still needed. Therefore, various anti-cancer immunotherapy approaches are being explored in prostate cancer patients. This review provides a short overview of the various approaches. However, apart from the vaccine sipuleucel-T which has received approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the majority of other approaches have still not reached phase 3 clinical trials.
