Official title
Salvage Radiation Therapy and Docetaxel (Taxotere) for Biochemical Failure After Radical Prostatectomy
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The main purpose of this study is to try to find out whether adding chemotherapy to the standard treatment for your stage of prostate cancer is more effective than the standard treatment by itself. The kind of treatment that most physicians would consider standard for this stage of prostate cancer is radiation therapy alone, possibly in combination with hormonal therapy. In this study, all patients will receive chemotherapy and radiation therapy. It is hoped that chemotherapy will be found to provide additional benefit, but chemotherapy has significant side effects. The use of chemotherapy is experimental in prostate cancer; it needs to be tested to determine if it is beneficial and to find out more about the side effects of the two different treatments. This study is to determine the effects, good and/or bad, of adding chemotherapy to radiation therapy as "salvage" treatment for recurrent prostate cancer after surgery.
