DATA EXTRACTION:
Abstracts of articles identified were assessed, read and analysed to determine relevance to the title under review.

After establishing relevance from the abstract, the entire paper was read, and significant points included in the review.
CONCLUSION:
The mainstay of treatment of advanced prostate cancer remains hormone withdrawal. The introduction of docetaxel based chemotherapy has caused a paradigm shift. | en |
