Chemotherapy for Prostate Cancer in Kharkiv — Effective Solutions for Advanced Stages
Chemotherapy for prostate cancer is an important stage of treatment when hormonal therapy is no longer effective or the disease behaves aggressively. At the Brigid Medical Center, we combine modern chemotherapy agents with advanced hormonal and targeted therapies. Our goal is to slow disease progression, relieve pain, and preserve the patient’s active lifestyle.
Advantages of Prostate Cancer Treatment at the Brigid Medical Center
Genetic analysis
We test the tumor for specific mutations (BRCA and others) to select medications that will be effective in your particular case.
Individualized treatment sequencing
We carefully plan when to initiate chemotherapy and when to use hormonal or targeted agents to prolong treatment effectiveness as much as possible.
Timely initiation
If the disease progresses rapidly, we act without delay—early chemotherapy allows better tumor control.
Accurate PSA monitoring
We closely monitor PSA levels and CT/MRI results to respond promptly to even minor changes during treatment.
Next-generation medications
We use modern drugs (Docetaxel, Cabazitaxel) proven to extend survival even in complex cases.
Reduction of side effects
We pay special attention to managing fatigue and pain to ensure maximum patient comfort.
What types of chemotherapy do we use?
The choice of regimen depends on how the tumor responds to prior treatment:
- First-line therapy (Docetaxel): the main approach when standard hormonal injections are no longer effective.
- Second-line therapy (Cabazitaxel): prescribed when the previous regimen becomes ineffective.
- Early chemotherapy: used in cases with a high metastatic burden immediately after diagnosis for an intensive therapeutic impact.
- Combination therapy: chemotherapy combined with novel oral hormonal agents to enhance outcomes.
- Low-dose (metronomic) therapy: administration of low-dose medications for elderly patients to improve tolerability.
When does a physician prescribe chemotherapy?
Main indications for initiating treatment:
- PSA levels continue to rise despite hormonal therapy.
- New or enlarging metastases in bones, lungs, or liver.
- Bone pain that interferes with daily life.
- Very rapid PSA doubling time (less than 3 months).
- Aggressive cancer variants (neuroendocrine types).
We take everything into account:
Our oncologists assess not only laboratory results, but also your age, cardiac status, and comorbidities. If the patient is frail, we select special, less intensive dosing regimens.
How does treatment take place at the Brigid Medical Center?
We do everything possible to ensure procedures are calm and painless:
- Convenient schedule: infusions are typically administered once every three weeks.
- Body protection: we use medications to support immunity and protect against infections.
- Pain control: we tailor analgesic regimens so you can remain active.
- Comfortable inpatient care: treatment is provided in modern wards under the supervision of caring staff in Kharkiv.
