Abstract
Taxanes are the most active chemotherapy agents in metastatic resistant prostate cancer. However, not all patients respond to this therapy. In the present study we show that the detection of TMPRSS2-ERG in blood from metastatic resistant prostate cancer patients predicts resistance to docetaxel and it may be useful to select treatment and to avoid possible toxicities in refractory patients.
