Bevacizumab, Paclitaxel, and Carboplatin Before Surgery in Treating Patients With Stage IB, Stage II, or Stage IIIA Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Completed · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Lung Cancer

In brief

RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, can block cancer growth in different ways. Some block the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Others find cancer cells and help kill them or deliver cancer-killing substances to them. Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining monoclonal antibody therapy with chemotherapy before surgery may may shrink the tumor so that it can be removed. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is to see if bevacizumab, paclitaxel, and carboplatin given before surgery work in treating patients who have stage IB, stage II, or stage IIIA non-small cell lung cancer.
