Fulvestrant in Hormone Refractory Prostate Cancer
The purpose of this study is to determine if treatment with fulvestrant leads to a slowing of tumor progression in patients who have developed androgen-independent (AIPC) or hormone-refractory prostate cancer (HRPC) and who have a rising serum prostate specific antigen (PSA).
Stanford is currently not accepting patients for this trial.
