Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel, topotecan, and estramustine, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Giving more than one chemotherapy drug may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving paclitaxel, topotecan, and estramustine together works in treating patients with metastatic hormone therapy-refractory prostate cancer.
