Chemotherapy for advanced prostate cancer: docetaxel and beyond.

To place appropriately into context the current status of chemotherapy as a management option for patients with hormone-refractory metastatic prostate cancer, it is important to reflect on the widely held historical belief that advanced prostate cancer is a chemotherapeutic-insensitive neoplasm. This article focuses on three disease subsets: (1)metastatic, hormone-refractory, chemotherapy-naive prostate cancer;(2) metastatic, hormone-refractory, progressive prostate cancer after frontline chemotherapy; and (3) locally advanced prostate cancer. Yagoda and Petrylak evaluated the results of 26 phase II trials of antineoplastics in advanced prostate cancer published between 1987 and 1991 and found the average objective response rate was less than 10% with only a few studies having response rates in the 10% to 20%range.[1]
