Gemcitabine Plus Radiation Therapy or Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

Completed · Phase 1/Phase 2

Conditions studied: Lung Cancer

In brief

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Combining radiation therapy with chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to compare the effectiveness of gemcitabine with radiation therapy alone or following two-drug combination chemotherapy in treating patients with stage III non-small cell lung cancer.
