Combination Chemotherapy and Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Stage II or Stage III Non-small Cell Lung Cancer That Cannot Be Removed By Surgery

Status unconfirmed · 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. Specialized radiation therapy delivers a high dose of radiation directly to the tumor which may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy and specialized high-dose radiation therapy in treating patients who have stage II or stage III non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be removed by surgery.
