Provenge Now is a patient advocate initiative to gain immediate FDA
approval for the first ever active cellular immunotherapy treatment
for prostate cancer. Survivors hope to extend their lives with a
better quality with this new landmark treatment. Provenge is a symbol
for a new era in prostate cancer treatment.

Provenge is the first immunotherapy vaccine treatment to complete
phase III clinical trials and to demonstrate both safety and
substantial efficacy for prostate cancer. It was recommended by an FDA
advisory panel for approval. The panel voted 17 - 0 that the treatment
was safe and 13 - 4 that it demonstrated substantial efficacy. In a
surprising decision on May 8 the FDA asked for additional clinical
data potentially delaying provenge approval for a number of years.

Prostate cancer patients are demanding approval of Provenge Now.
Survivors will petition Congress for immediate approval. Plans are to
assemble for meetings in Washington, D.C. on June 4 and 5. If you care
to voice your opinion and join the initiative, please email us at
provengenow@yahoo.com. Also, please email your representative
(www.house.gov) and your senators (www.senate.gov) today.

We are in the process of constructing this website please stay tuned
for more information on how you can become involved.

prostate cancer treatments to expand the options available to
