Patient description: The patient is a 63-year-old man presenting to the Emergency Department with a history of acute urinary retention in the past 2 days. Abdominopelvic CT scan revealed a large prostate and a bladder filled with urine. He is a candidate for urethral catheterization and TURP. Further evaluation revealed: Post-void residual: 71 mL Prostate volume (TRUS): 63 mL Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level: 3.5 ng/mL His recent blood chemistry (3 days ago) was normal: Hgb: 13.6 g/dl WBC: 133000 /mm3 Plt: 370000 /ml PT: 12 second PTT: 34 second INR: 0.9 Creatinine: 0.5 mg/dl BUN: 10 mg/dl U/A: Color: yellow Appearance: cloudy PH: 5.3 Specific gravity: 1.010 Glc: 100 Nitrite: negative Ketone: none Leukocyte esterase: negative RBC: negative WBC: 2 WBCs/hpf U/C: negative

Clinical trial eligibility criteria: eligible ages (years): 18.0-999.0,  Prostate Cancer Histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate. 2. Age ≥ 18 years. 3. Clinically localized prostate cancer T1 (Cancer can only be seen under a microscope) NX (Regional lymph nodes cannot be assessed) or N0 (Cancer cannot be seen in the lymph nodes) MX (Presence of distant metastasis cannot be assessed) or M0 (Cancer hasn't spread to other parts of the body). 4. No previous treatment for prostate cancer (including hormonal therapy, radiation therapy, surgery, or chemotherapy). 5. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status 0 or 1. 6. Patients must have the following laboratory values: 1. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) > 1500/µL 2. Platelet count >100,000/µL 3. Hemoglobin > 10 g/dL 4. Bilirubin < 1.5 x upper limits of normal 5. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) < 1.5 x upper limits of normal 6. Adequate estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) > 30 mL/min per 1.73 m2 (adjusted for race) 7. Patient consent has been obtained according to local Institutional Review Board for acquisition of research specimens. 8. Patient is accessible and compliant for follow-up. 9. Prostate biopsy requirements: 1. If diagnosis was within one year of baseline visit, participant must have at least one biopsy with at least 10 cores. 2. If diagnosis was more than 1 year prior to baseline visit, participant must have a minimum of 2 biopsies, one of which must be within 2 years prior to baseline visit. Patients must have been diagnosed with prostate cancer within 2 years of randomization (no history of prostate adenocarcinoma in any biopsies taken more than 2 years prior to randomization). 10. Must have NCCN low or favorable-intermediate risk prostate cancer defined as <50% of cores involved with cancer for and 50% or greater of cores involved with cancer progression. Only cores from standard TRUS biopsy (not MRI-guided cores) will be counted towards the number of cores involved No primary Gleason pattern 4 (Gleason score 4+3) disease in any cores (TRUS or MRI-guided) PSA less than 20 ng/mL No extracapsular extension (<T3) 11. Patients with female partners of childbearing potential must use at least one form of Investigator-approved contraception while on-study and for 30 days after their last administration of study investigational therapy. Acceptable birth control options 1. surgical sterilization (patient and/or patient's partner), 2. approved hormonal contraceptives or therapies (such as birth control pills, Depo-Provera, or Lupron Depot), 3. barrier methods (such as a condom or diaphragm) used with a spermicide, and 4. an intrauterine device (IUD)  Unwillingness or inability (such as coagulopathy) to undergo serial prostate biopsy. 2. History of other malignancies, except: adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer or adequately treated superficial bladder cancer (Ta) or other solid tumors curatively treated with no evidence of disease for > 5 years. 3. Evidence of metastatic prostate cancer. 4. Immune-compromised patients including but not limited to: systemic immune suppressive medications within 6 weeks of enrolling; HIV-positive and below normal cluster of differentiation 4 (CD4) lymphocytes (less than 500 cells per microliter). Patients must be tested for HIV seropositivity and CD4 lymphocyte count to be eligible for the study. 5. Inability to give consent. 6. Any condition that, according to the investigator, would make the patient an inappropriate study candidate. 7. Patients with significant cardiac disease including heart failure that meets New York Heart Association (NYHA) class II and IV definitions, history of myocardial infarction within 6 months of study entry, uncontrolled dysrhythmias. 8. Patients with existing autoimmune disorders (IL-2 and GM-CSF carry risk of exacerbating underlying autoimmune disorders)
