Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to differentiate between the administrations of Cetuximab alone vs Cetuximab plus Docetaxel in the treatment of non-metastatic prostate cancer before the surgical removal of the prostate
Detailed Description: With the larger number of men who undergo screening with assays for serum prostate specific antigen urologists continue to see considerable numbers of patients with locally advanced prostate disease There is a higher risk of treatment failure in any patient with a tumor that extends through the prostate capsule more aggressive pathology Gleason score of 7 or higher or patients with a PSA of greater than 10 ngml The rationale for adding molecular targeted drugs such as Cetuximab epithelial growth factor inhibitor with or without chemotherapy such as Docetaxel is that such therapy has the potential to demonstrate tumor shrinkage of the prostate and in addition micrometastatic cells Cetuximab alone or Cetuximab plus Docetaxel utilizing the preprostatectomy model with the adjuvant delivery of Cetuximab for 6 months will provide data for the following points

1 demonstration of a PSA response prior to prostatectomy
2 demonstration whether a change in the natural history with a delay in the onset of metastatic disease in patients with advanced local prostate cancer can be achieved
3 laboratory and tissue correlation to assess changes in proliferative apoptosis and pathologic parameters and
4 metabolic imaging utilizing CT-PET with FDG to assess whether this will be a useful modality in exhibiting a response to therapy compared with conventional radiographic imaging

This will provide the basis for future development of neoadjuvant chemotherapy prior to prostatectomy
