Clinical Pearls
Michael J. Morris, MD, medical oncologist, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, explains the rationale behind TAX 3503 (hormonal therapy +/- docetaxel for patients at high risk of metastatic prostate cancer).
- ECOG 3805 looked at chemohormonal therapy versus hormonal therapy for patients with hormone-sensitive, newly metastatic prostate cancer.
- TAX 3503 takes the question asked in early metastatic disease and moves it back one more step: to the pre-metastatic, high-risk population.
- TAX 3503 analyzed patients at high risk of having metastatic disease. Patients were randomized to 18 months of hormonal therapy alone or in combination with docetaxel.
