Dr. Slovin on the Future of Immunotherapy in Prostate Cancer

Susan F. Slovin, MD, PhD, a medical oncologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, discusses the future of immunotherapy for patients with prostate cancer.

There have been tremendous strides looking at different immune-based platforms, states Slovin. An approach being evaluated is the PROSTVAC platform, which is a transgene of PSA in a fowlpox vector given with 3 immune stimulatory molecules.

There are a variety of molecules to which immunotherapies are being developed including VISTA, LAG-3, FoxP3, explains Slovin.
