Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine and docetaxel, work in different
ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from
dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving gemcitabine together with docetaxel
works in treating patients with metastatic prostate cancer.
