Docetaxel plus Prednisone or Mitoxantrone plus Prednisone for Advanced Prostate Cancer

TL;DR: When given with prednisone, treatment with docetaxel every three weeks led to superior survival and improved rates of response in terms of pain, serum PSA level, and quality of life, as compared with mitoxantrone plusprednisone.
