PROVENGE (sipuleucel-T) is an FDA-approved, personalized immunotherapy for advanced prostate cancer that involves extracting a patient's own immune cells, enhancing them in a lab to fight cancer, and re-infusing them. This 3-cycle process, typically spaced 2 weeks apart, trains the immune system to attack cancer cells
