[Prostate cancer: future strategies for chemotherapy management].
Chemotherapy is one the therapeutic options in prostate cancer. Docetaxel once every three weeks is the current standard for castration-refractory disease with cancer-related symptoms. The docetaxel plus estramustine association is likely more active than docetaxel alone. Docetaxel is currently tested in early stages: first results of phase III trials are expected by 2009-2010.
