Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel and carboplatin, work in 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. It is not yet known whether giving chemotherapy together with radiation therapy is more effective with or without adjuvant chemotherapy in treating unresectable stage II or stage III non-small cell lung cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying giving paclitaxel, carboplatin, and radiation therapy together with adjuvant paclitaxel and carboplatin to see how well it works compared to giving paclitaxel, carboplatin, and radiation therapy alone in treating patients with unresectable stage II or stage III non-small cell lung cancer.
