Global Prostate Cancer Vaccine Clinical Pipeline Insight 2015
M2 - Wed Jan 21, 5:40AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/qxt9lq/global_prostate) has announced the addition of the "Global Prostate Cancer Vaccine Clinical Pipeline Insight 2015" report to their offering. Prostate cancer vaccine is a recent development which is more potent than presently available prostate cancer therapeutics in providing better medical care. Prophylactic nature of this vaccine makes it possible to prevent the future incidences of prostate cancer. Besides, it can also prevent the relapse, provides long- term immunity, decrease morbidity and mortality rates along with increasing longevity. Owing to these benefits offered by prostate cancer vaccines their acceptance is increasing among patients and physicians in recent years. It is expected that due competition and increased number of products in market will cause decrease in the price of prostate cancer vaccines in coming years. Prostate cancer vaccine utilizes different antigens like Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen, Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) and Prostatic Acid Phosphatase (PAP) in pharmacological formulations. These antigens are isolated from the prostate tumor and injected into the body to activate the immune cells. They identify these antigens as non-self and begin to search and eliminate cancerous cells from body to prevent proliferation of cancerous cells. Highly specific nature causes elimination of cancerous cells in prostate while sparing normal cells leading to minimized side effects in patients.
