2012, Urologic Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :Docetaxel, given intravenously every 3 weeks (75 mg/m2) to men with prostate cancer in an initial small trial (n = 35), was associated with a 46% serum PSA response rate.17 In a series of clinical trials featuring intravenous weekly docetaxel (35–40 mg/m2), serum PSA response rates ranged from 41% to 64%.18–22 The addition of estramustine (see earlier discussion) to docetaxel appeared to produce significant benefits in early studies, both for serum PSA responses (45%–74%) and for measurable disease responses (11%–57%).23–27
