| Abstract | Chemotherapy is indicated in metastatic castration-refractory prostate cancer. It aims at alleviating symptoms and increasing survival, without impairing quality of life. Docetaxel is considered as the reference treatment in this indication. However, several studies demonstrated the relevance of associating estramustin with docetaxel, due to the synergistic effect of the combination and the action of estramustin on resistance mechanisms. Moreover, the addition of estramustin to chemotherapy demonstrated a survival benefit for patients. Thrombotic events are frequent in patients with advanced prostate cancer and estramustine is known to increase the risk. Optimization of treatment requires a thorough assessment of the individual risk in each patient as well as the prescription of an anti-thrombotic prophylaxis, which should be currently based on low molecular weight heparin. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
