Docetaxel Plus 6-month Androgen Suppression and Radiation Therapy Versus 6-month Androgen Suppression and Radiation Therapy for Patients With High Risk Localized or Locally Advanced Prostate Cancer: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Radiation therapy plus six months of hormone therapy is one standard way of treating men
with high-risk prostate cancer. In this study, we want to see whether or not adding the
chemotherapy drug docetaxel (Taxotere)will make this treatment more effective. Docetaxel
has shown a benefit in median survival when given to men who have become resistant to
hormonal therapy and in men who have metastatic prostate cancer (spread to other areas of
the body).
