What is the longest time you have seen Taxotere® (docetaxel) and prednisone work?
Question: I just began docetaxel and prednisone and am interested as to how long you have seen it work. Answer: I have had some patients who have been on and off this therapy for as long as 4 years, with good symptom control, and I have clearly seen an improvement in their survival time. Seventeen percent of patients treated with an every 3 week regimen of docetaxel are alive at 3 years, compared to 12 percent treated with every 3 weeks of mitoxantrone.
