Popis: Therapy with Docetaxel for hormone-refractory prostatic carcinoma has for the first time led to an increase in the survival time. Docetaxel has become established as a standard therapy for his indication. Since hormone-refractory prostatic carcinoma is not uniformly defined and is thus for prognosis not a homogeneous entity, the prospects at the start of chemotherapy are uncertain. In the summer of 2005 these questions were addressed in an interdisciplinary consensus conference. It was agreed that the 3-week scheme with 75 mg/m (2) as standard and the indication for symptomatic patients were above question. Opinions differed with regard to the use of chemotherapy in asymptomatic patients. In addition, recommendations for the performance and monitoring of the therapy were formulated.
