What next after Hormonotherapy in cancer prostate?.
J Coll Physicians Surg Pak Jan ;13(10):606-10.

Treatment of hormone-resistance cancer prostate (HRCP) is very challenging. The old versions that don’t treat until symptoms appear are becoming old. Chemotherapy is now increasingly being utilized. The steps involved in the hormone management and the role for chemotherapy in the current time are being discussed. Hormonal management at different stages of hormonal sensitivity by sequential hormonal use, and once hormonal resistance is established, the combination of mitoxantrone and prednisone has become a standard chemotherapeutic approach. New agents such as docetaxel are being tested in phase III trials against mitoxantrone plus prednisone. HRCP is now regarded as a chemotherapy-sensitive tumor. The goals of chemotherapy in HRCP are to decrease PSA level and improve quality of life. New agents and combinations are needed to improve survival to meet this end.
