New Hope for Patients with
End-Stage Metastatic Cancer

There is now new hope for patients with end stage metastatic prostate cancer who have their disease progressing despite hormonal therapy. This situation is called castrate resistant prostate cancer or CRPC. This is usually the last stage of prostate cancer and the point at which chemotherapy is usually started. Chemotherapy can add a few extra months of life for a patient, but long term responses are rare.

Dr. Onik is currently using a new treatment utilizing the patients own immune system to fight the cancer. Results have been dramatic as shown in the following case study.

His PSA is currently undetectable and his tumors have disappeared on CT scan and ultrasound. His biopsies are now negative.

Case study Mr L is a 72 yr old man with a long history of prostate cancer. His cancer returned after radical prostatectomy and then again after radiation. He did well for years on hormonal therapy, but then his cancer started progressing. Despite all therapies including 12 courses of chemotherapy, his disease kept growing and he was literally facing death. Under a compassionate use protocol, he was provided a never before used treatment.
