Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Androgens can stimulate the growth of prostate cancer cells. Drugs such as goserelin, leuprolide, flutamide, or bicalutamide may stop the adrenal glands from producing androgens. Combining chemotherapy with hormone therapy may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy plus hormone therapy in treating patients who have metastatic prostate cancer.

Primary outcomes (2)
- measure
- Progression-free Survival
- timeFrame
- 0-5 years (assessed every 3 months if no progression when the chemotherapy had been finished. Once off chemotherapy, assessed every 3 months until progression)
- description
- Measured from time of registration to time of first documentation of progression determined from the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level, clinical criteria, or symptomatic deterioration. PSA progression is defined as a 25% increase greater than baseline. If the patient's PSA level had decrease during the study, a 25% increase from the nadir PSA level, with absolute value of \>=5 ng/mL is considered progression. CLinical progress is defined as the appearance of any new lesion at any site or death without documented progression. Symptomatic deterioration is defined as a global deterioration of the health status requiring discontinuation of treatment without objective evidence of progression.
