it would be nice to see
the non-cancer deaths. If the provenge people all
died of the things you see in the AMP commercials
( retired people building boats and flying gliders)
and the placebos were all things related to being
too weak to do common tasks, that would be interesting
too.

<<Why would it break the double-blind? In theory a Provenge batch and a placebo batch would be prepared on all patients and even the doctor wouldn't know who received a placebo and who received Provenge.>>

That's right, I forgot. The placebo patients get a saline solution initially, but their Provenge cassettes are also prepared at the same time, and then frozen until after their disease progresses some months later.
