Daniel George, MD, Director, Prostate Clinic, Genitourinary Oncology, Duke Cancer Institute, specifically discusses the immunotherapy agent, sipuleucel-T (Provenge) used in the treatment of prostate cancer. He says that when the drug first came on the market many administrative challenges existed. There were limited access and associated reimbursement issues due to the limited production capabilities.
