Brief Summary: The goal of this clinical research study is to find out whether it is safe to treat patients diagnosed with locally advanced prostate cancer with the drug Thalidomide before removing the tumor radical retropubic prostatectomy

Researchers also want to learn if Thalidomide can shrink or slow the growth of the prostate cancer before the surgery
Detailed Description: 1 To determine the efficacy rate of tumor reduction and PSA decline of pre-operative treatment with thalidomide in patients with locally advanced prostate carcinoma
2 To determine the safety and toxicity excessive bleeding wound healing problems of preoperative therapy with thalidomide in patients with locally advanced prostate carcinoma who undergo RRP
3 To obtain qualitative measurements of thalidomides effect in vivo on
