Abstract:
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men accounting for around 24% of all male cancers in United Kingdom. The role of chemotherapy in the neoadjuvant and adjuvant setting is still unclear despite considerable progress in this area. Chemotherapy for advanced prostate cancer has become the standard of care, however options of treatment following taxotere failure are still limited. This review summarizes recent advances in chemotherapy treatment options for early as well as advanced prostate cancer.

The combination of the drug acetazolamide and sulforaphane is a good example of combination therapy to treat cancer. The cells in the interior of a large tumor often die due to the hypoxic and...
Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
