Palliative treatment of metastatic and/or progressive prostate cancer.

Considered by many clinicians to be an alternative to conventional measures (e.g., orchiectomy, hormonal therapy); generally used in treatment of hormone-refractory prostate cancer.

Combination therapy with etoposide, paclitaxel, or vinblastine may result in higher objective response rates and greater improvements in subjective parameters (e.g., pain) for treatment of hormone-refractory disease.
