Am I a candidate?
PROVENGE immunotherapy is indicated for certain men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). You are eligible for
PROVENGE if
you:
•
Have disease progression while being treated with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT)
•
Have been diagnosed with metastatic disease, meaning the cancer has spread from the prostate to other
parts of the body, such as bones or lymph nodes
•
Are not taking drugs for cancer-related pain
Talk to your doctor about imaging
Imaging can help determine whether prostate cancer has spread (metastasized). When prostate cancer metastasizes to other areas of the
body, it
generally spreads to bones, lymph nodes, or soft tissue. There are several types of imaging that can help detect when prostate cancer has
begun
to spread beyond the prostate.
Identification of metastatic disease is important to ensure that you and your doctor choose the best treatment plan for your advanced
prostate
cancer. If metastases have been found anywhere outside of the prostate (bones, lymph nodes, soft tissue, etc), you may be a candidate for
PROVENGE.
A number of imaging methods can be used to find metastases
Imaging type
How it works
Identifies metastases in
Bone
Lymph
Soft tissue
X-ray
To visualize cancer that has spread to the lungs or the ribs
•
Bone Scan
To identify cancer in the bones
•
Computed tomography (CT)
Uses X-rays to create detailed images. May show if lymph nodes are enlarged or if cancer has spread to the bones
•
•
•
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
Uses radio waves and strong magnets to visualize soft tissue and bones
•
•
•
Positron emission tomography (PET)
Effective at identifying cancer that has spread to the bones
•
•
•
fluciclovine F 18 (Axumin®) injection
Used with PET, specifically for suspected prostate cancer recurrence–based elevated PSA level
•
•
•
Contrast agents can enhance the quality of images.
