Neoadjuvant treatment (month 1 through \~6): All patients will be treated with up to 6 months of androgen deprivation, plus up to 6 cycles of docetaxel chemotherapy. Following docetaxel therapy, patients with a prostate-specific antigen response of at least a 50% decrease from baseline, will proceed to maximum consolidative therapy. Surgery and Radiation (month 7 though \~11): After completion of neoadjuvant therapy, the men will be treated with definitive local therapy with radical prostatectomy (RP) +/- adjuvant radiation therapy (RT). After definitive local therapy, patients will be treated with consolidative stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) to the metastatic sites. Follow up: Patients will continue on androgen deprivation for a total of 1 year. They will be followed clinically and monitored with serum testosterone and prostate-specific antigen until 2-years after completion of ADT (Androgen deprivation therapy) treatment. Androgen blockade will be the same throughout the course of treatment.
