Summary

RATIONALE: Licorice root extract contains ingredients that may slow the growth of tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving licorice root extract together with docetaxel may be an effective treatment for prostate cancer. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well giving licorice root extract together with docetaxel works in treating patients with metastatic prostate cancer that did not respond to hormone therapy.
