## Abstract ## BACKGROUND. The objective of the current study was to determine the histologic and molecular changes that occurred in patients with highβrisk, localized prostate cancer (PCa) after neoadjuvant docetaxel chemotherapy. ## METHODS. Patients who had locally advanced PCa (serum preoper
## Abstract The results of this assessment of the literature indicated that neoadjuvant therapy followed by prostatectomy may improve longβterm outcomes for patients with highβrisk localized disease. In addition, this approach provides a paradigm for evaluating the activity and mechanism of action
