I find it amazing that people talk as though DNDN was a complete failure. Yes the gains weren't enormous but it still extended OS by 4.1 months. Is it expensive, yes but have you seen the cost of Chemo and radiation? People don't say OMG that guy spent 100k on medication or treatments last year.

DNDN NR March 2010

PROVENGE increased three-year survival by 40 percent compared to placebo (32.1 percent vs 23.0 percent), the median survival difference of PROVENGE compared to placebo was maintained at 4.1 months, with a 24.1 percent reduction in the risk of death [HR=0.759] and a p-value of 0.017.
