The present study evaluated treatment outcomes in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer treated with docetaxel in the everyday clinical setting. Medical records from consecutively treated patients were reviewed, and clinical predictors of severe nonhematologic toxicity and febrile neutropenia were identified. Overall survival was inferior to that observed in clinical trials. Older age and dose reductions did not affect the survival outcomes.
