Objective:To evaluate the clinical effects and adverse reactions of Docetaxel and Thalidomide in treating ad-vanced androgen independent prostate cancer (AIPC). Methods:12 cases of advanced AIPC were given a combined treat-ment of Docataxel and Thalidomide, with Docetaxel 75 mg/m2 on day 1 and Thalidomide 100 mg per day as initial dose and 300 mg as terminal dose by an increase of 50 mg every week. Results:The post-treatment values of prostate specific antigen (PSA) were normal (< 4 ng/L) in 10 patients, less than 50% of pretreatment value in one patient, and no significant change in one patient. The median survival time was 14 months and period of the median symptoms reduction was 16.3 months. Com-mon adverse reactions were tolerable, including nausea, vomiting, leukopenia, anemia and thrombocytopenia. Conclusion:The regimen of Docetaxel combined with Thalidomide was effective and tolerable in the treatment of advanced AIPC.
