Local injection of docetaxel shows promise for bladder cancer. Maybe it could be used for PCa where systematic therapy was not tolerated.

Interesting idea.

But only to supplement systemic therapy

By the time you get to docetaxel, you really don't know where the cancer is, even after a scan that will only find larger tumors.
