How the Immune System Fights Prostate Cancer with Dr. Matthew Halpert, Phd

Dr. Geo speaks with cancer immunologist Matthew Halpert, PhD about Immunocine, a dendritic-cell platform that “double-loads” patient-specific tumor signals to trigger a strong, physiologic immune response. Discussion includes mechanism, prostate cancer cases, how it can complement ADT and focal radiation, eligibility, workflow, and access.

Key Takeaways

• Dendritic cells orchestrate immunity; NK/T cells execute.
• Precision double-loading overcomes a built-in fail-safe to amplify activation.
• Tissue access and preservation are essential for a broad, personalized target set.
• Pragmatic combination care: ADT and selective radiation can create a therapeutic window and enhance antigen presentation.
