Chemotherapy in the treatment of castration-resistant prostate cancer is used in the first- and second-line therapy with a benefit of
prolonged survival and improved quality of life. Docetaxel is a drug standardly used in the first-line therapy. Cabazitaxel is the first
cytostatic drug to have been shown to extend survival in patients treated in the second line after previous treatment with docetaxel.
Vinorelbine, particularly due to its good tolerance, represents an option for patients with contraindications to taxane administration.
