Experiences with

Docetaxel

13.3 months for Casodex+Avastin. "... key eligibility criteria included increasing PSA level (≤50 ng/mL), PSA doubling time <18 months, low-burden metastatic or nonmetastatic disease, and asymptomatic metastases (lymph nodes <3 cm, ≤5 bony metastases) ..." [3] The same team had a paper last April: "Docetaxel

term=taxotere+metformin&rank=3 2]  "Metformin-Docetaxel" for CRPC. "This study is currently recruiting participants." https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01796028?

Restarted docetaxel last week since I reacted so well, but we will reevaluate after 3 cycles. Considering 3 next steps. Current PSA is 1467, but as my doctor says that is only a number to be considered in conjunction with how I feel and what scans show.

CAPE Studies: [1]  "Caffeic acid phenethyl ester synergistically enhances docetaxel and paclitaxel cytotoxicity in prostate cancer cells" Of great interest to me was the effect of CAPE on the estrogen receptors ERalpha & ERbeta.  Normal prostatic epithelial cells have little or no ERalpha.  

Jus want to find out if anyone who has had docetaxel chemotherapy but not effective and then go on to cabaxitazel .. What is the outcome? Is this second line of chemo successful ? Will PSA go up and will it eventually go down? Or is PSA relevant anymore? Any cases? Many thanks!

Moreover, recent studies have shown that some patients may benefit from the addition of upfront docetaxel chemotherapy. To date, no studies have been able to distinguish patients who will benefit from the combination of ADT and docetaxel chemotherapy.

Used DES, then Zytiga, then docetaxel now has been on Enzalutimide since June last year. Enzalutamide has brought his PSA down to 15, the lowest that it has been for 5 years. He is now on a bit of a plateau.

My second chemo is scheduled in two week time and docetaxel (taxotere) will be used along with carboplatin. My question: has anyone had a similar experience?

term=prostate+hsp90&rank=1 "Hsp90 Inhibitor STA-9090 in Treating Patients With Metastatic Hormone-Resistant Prostate Cancer Previously Treated With Docetaxel-Based Chemotherapy" I can't find published results for either trial.

Our onco decided to have a neoadjuvant chemo with Docetaxel, epirubicin and endoxan. They call it Nact regime. Her reports including PET shows localised disease with a 5 cm tumor IDC. Though Mri showed some sign in one of the nodes.....i think thats why Dr staged it at 3a.

I have NSC adenocarcinoma and am about to start Docetaxel as my third line treatment I would like to hear from anyone who is or has been on this chemo. Thanking you in advance Mags.

As two more options came onto the market - Docetaxel, also in 2002, and Trastuzumab, in 2007 - list prices rose to $2488 and $5300 respectively. A similar trend was also shown across medicines for the treatment of kidney cancer, and lung cancer, rising 411 and 44 per cent respectively.

OR PACLITAXEL (AC -> TH) OR DOCETAXEL AND CARBOPLATIN (TCH).

bed.i slept most of the day.on Saturday I thought I was on my way out.phoned the number we are given and had to come to the hospital.i couldn't keep my eyes.basically I couldn't do anything.the usual things were done.i hadn't chemo last week as it was my week off.i was meant to do another 3 rounds of docetaxel

Hi ladies well iv had my first three weeks of docetaxol without to many problems.i was told on Tuesday I would now have a week off which is very nice.but when I left I had to ask myself why I was told last week I needed to come back and get my bloods checked on Friday this week as Monday is a public

Hi been to see onc today,going to start weekly docetaxol next week.anyone else on this.would love to hear your experiences of it regards carolyn

Hi friends I'm afraid I'm going to have a rant.as iv said before my chemo didn't work and has stopped.expecting to start docetaxol at the end of the month.anyway this past week iv felt pretty awful.iv been dizzy nauseous and when iv been out the sweat has been pouring off me,my hair has been really wet.yesterday

Hi been to see the onc the carboplatin hasn't worked my ca125 is going up.seems a bit of a waste of 15 weeks,especially when I told her at the start I wasn't happy having carboplatin again.having to have more chemo after only 2 months does not say to me the carboplatin was a success first time.anyway

She has undergone through chemo and radiotherapy in the first line, and one year later she began with the Docetaxel. It was at the begining of november '13 and I' d like to know if it can stay stable for much time. I' ll truly appreciatte your stories. Take care and my best wishes to all of you!

Two groups of chemotherapy drugs are particularly prone to cause nail changes: Taxanes e.g. docetaxel and paclitaxel Anthracyclines e.g. doxorubicin, idarubicin and epirubicin. Nail changes may also be seen with hydroxyurea.
