Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel and prednisone, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Docetaxel may make tumor cells more sensitive to radiation therapy. Giving docetaxel together with radiation therapy and prednisone after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving docetaxel together with radiation therapy and prednisone works in treating patients who have undergone surgery for prostate cancer.

Conditions

Interventions

DRUG

docetaxel

Docetaxel 20mg/m2/week IV every week during standard of care radiation treatment (7 cycles). Post radiation: docetaxel 75mg/m2 IV every 21 days for 4 cycles plus prednisone 5mg PO BID QD.

DRUG

prednisone

Docetaxel 20mg/m2/week IV every week during radiation treatment (7 cycles). Post radiation: docetaxel 75mg/m2 IV every 21 days for 4 cycles plus prednisone 5mg PO BID QD.

PROCEDURE

Radical prostatectomy

Radical prostatectomy as part of standard care

RADIATION

Radiation therapy

Doses for standard care radiation therapy: The initial target volume will be the lower pelvis followed by a boost to the prostate fossa and immediate periprostatic tissue. The initial dose will be 4500 cGy. With the final boost, the total dose will be 6840-6900 cGy. (4500/25 plus 2340/13 or 2400/12) with a total of 37 or 38 fractions.
