The project in a nutshell
Looking at a new treatment that uses the body's own immune
system to destroy prostate cancer cells whilst leaving healthy
cells alone.
Why we funded it
Current treatments for advanced prostate cancer come with many
side-effects and can stop working quite quickly. A treatment that
can help eliminate the cancer by boosting the body's own immune
system without any side effects to the patient could be used with
hormone therapy or even on its own. It could prove to be an
alternative treatment to stop the disease spreading further and one
that saves many lives.
