Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so
they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug and giving chemotherapy before surgery
may shrink the tumor so that it can be removed during surgery.
PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy followed by
surgery in treating patients who have localized prostate cancer.
