Journal Article

The study of gemcitabine in combination with other chemotherapeutic agents as an effective treatment for prostate cancer.

TL;DR: The results demonstrated the potent activity of gemcitabine against prostate cancer in the Dunning rat model and suggest the addition of paclitaxel may not aid in this activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

The use of prostate-specific antigen as a surrogate end point in the treatment of patients with hormone refractory prostate cancer

TL;DR: Data suggest that a decline in prostate-specific antigen of at least 50% from baseline may be an important predictor of survival for patients receiving cytotoxic therapy.
Book ChapterDOI
