This document provides a literature review on the application of antigen-specific immunotherapy therapeutics in prostate adenocarcinoma. It first discusses prostate cancer as a worldwide health problem and how it is diagnosed using digital rectal exams, PSA tests, and biopsies. It then explains how prostate cancer is driven by androgen receptor signaling and describes current treatment options and their limitations. Finally, it introduces antigen-specific immunotherapy as a potential solution, describing the ProstVac VF vaccine clinical trials which demonstrated improved overall survival rates for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer patients.
