Measure
Chemotherapy
docetaxel and bevacizumab prior to prostatectomy Docetaxel : Docetaxel will be given intravenously once every 21 days in the infusion center. The starting dose is 70mg/square meter. Bevacizumab : Bevacizumab (marketed as Avastin, Genentech) is an antibody to all isoforms of vascular endothelial growth factor and is the first putative anti-angiogenic agent approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of cancer.All subjects will be treated with intravenous docetaxel and bevacizumab for 5 cycles, followed by docetaxel alone for Cycle 6. Bevacizumab will be given first, at a starting dose of 15 mg/kg. Bevacizumab will be given once every 21 days in the infusion center.
