Background: Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) remains a therapeutic challenge and evidence for late-line treatments in real-life is limited. The present study investigates the efficacy and safety of an oral metronomic chemo-hormonal regimen including cyclophosphamide, etoposide, estramustine, ketoconazole and prednisolone (KEES) administered in a consecutive biweekly schedule.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study in two Swedish regions was conducted.
