Summary
RATIONALE: Giving dexamethasone together with aspirin and diethylstilbestrol may be effective
in lowering prostate-specific antigen levels and may slow or stop the growth of prostate
cancer. It is not yet known which schedule of dexamethasone, aspirin, and diethylstilbestrol
is more effective in treating prostate cancer.
PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying dexamethasone and aspirin when given
together with two different schedules of diethylstilbestrol to compare how well they work in
treating patients with locally advanced or metastatic prostate cancer.
