PROVENGE


PROVENGE treatments are available in our region at RAS Sacramento Clinic for Hematology and Medical Oncology. RAS is the only independent physicians group to offer PROVENGE treatments and accepts nearly all types of insurance.

 

PROVENGE® is a breakthrough medicine for the treatment of advanced prostate cancer that is designed to work differently from hormone therapy or chemotherapy. PROVENGE is the first prostate cancer therapy approved by the Food and Drug Administration that uses a patient's own immune cells. It is designed to make it possible for your immune system to identify and target prostate cancer cells. PROVENGE may help certain men with advanced prostate cancer live longer. In a clinical trial, PROVENGE reduced the risk of death from prostate cancer by 22.5% in men who received treatment.
