Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Any one or more of the following characteristics will qualify patient with T2/T3 prostate cancer for eligibility to current study:
  • Biopsy proven prostate cancer with Gleason score > 7
  • Pathologic staging TXN1 (on MRI or CT)
  • Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) > 10 ng/ml done within a month prior to study entry (the day of first hormonal ablation) and > 10 days after prostate biopsy.

In addition patients must also have:

  • Performance status < 2
  • Hemoglobin > 11 grams per deciliter (g/dL), White blood cell (WBC) > 4000 and platelet count > 100.000/l
  • No evidence of other synchronous primary. Prior malignancies does not exclude if the patient is disease free > 5 years.
  • Prior or concurrent basal cell or non-invasive squamous carcinoma of the skin is eligible and
  • Received hormone therapy with any of the following combination for less than 3 months
  • Lupron / Flutamide
  • Zoladex/ Flutamide
  • Lupron/ Casodex
  • Zoladex/ Casodex

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Clinical stage T1N0, PSA < 10, and Gleason score less than 7.
  • Evidence of distant metastasis
  • Previous surgery for prostate cancer (radical prostatectomy).
  • Current treatment with ketoconazole, cimetidine or hormone therapy for more than 3 months prior to inclusion in the protocol for prostate cancer
  • Major medical or psychiatric illness, which in the investigator's opinion may prevent completion of the study and interfere with follow up.
  • Bilirubin > 1.5
  • Prior chemotherapy is not allowed

Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Hormone Suppressors, Paclitaxel & Radiation therapy

Hormone Suppressors: Patients may take any of the following combinations for a period of 6 months:

  1. Lupron / Flutamide
