Any experiences with Provenge immunotherapy for prostate cancer?

We are considering Prevenge because Dad doesn't think he can handle the pluvicto treatments. Can you tell me how yours is doing? We are Memorial Regional and unsure if the Radiology Oncology is exagerating or over imploding microscopic cancer ........ this is all over Dad's bones as well. However, prostate cancer is slow and we are banking on the slowness of the progression.

There is a major difference between Pluvicto and Proveng.
Pluvicto is designed to attack multiple metastasis and reduce them in some cases dramatically.
Proveng is really not designed for that kind of treatment. It can help fight metastasis, but not do the Significant damage To cancer Mets that Pluvicto can do.
Talk to your doctor about this, I think you will find that You can reduce significant cancer mets with Pluvicto, something Proveng is not as helpful for.
This link discusses how PROVENGE is specifically indicated for the treatment of asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic metastatic castrate resistant (hormone refractory) prostate cancer.

Somebody receiving Pluvicto cannot get Provenge infusions to do the same thing. While both are advanced treatments for metastatic prostate cancer, they are fundamentally different types of therapy that work through completely separate mechanisms.
