Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The purpose of this study is to assess how well this particular combination of chemotherapy, radiation and surgery works to help people with locally advanced lung cancer, how well PET scans indicates whether someone has responded to chemotherapy and radiation, and gene expression patterns related to outcomes in patients with locally advanced lung cancer who receive this treatment regimen.

- description
- 1. Concurrent weekly docetaxel at 20 mg/m2 and weekly carboplatin at an AUC of 2 with thoracic radiotherapy of 180-200cGy/day for 5/7 days to 45 Gy. 2. Complete surgical excision 3-6 weeks after completion of chemoradiotherapy. 3. No Surgery if patient is deemed unable to tolerate surgery, with completion to 61 Gy radiation 4. Consolidation after surgery: Docetaxel given at 75 mg/m2 every 3 weeks with carboplatin at AUC 6 every 3 weeks with concomitant growth factor support.

Primary outcomes (1)
- measure
- 2 Year Overall Survival After a Combination of Chemotherapy, Radiation and Surgery in Stage III NSCLC Patients Following the Protocol Therapy.
- timeFrame
- Two years
- description
- Patients were analyzed for 2 year overall survival after receiving trimodality (chemotherapy/radiation/surgery) therapy for stage III NSCLC. Patients had a chest x-ray and a doctor visit with a physical examination every 3 months after completion of all therapy for 3 years then every 6 months for 3 years to look for evidence of recurrent disease and to follow survival. Thoracic computed tomography (CT) scans were obtained at 6, 12, 18 months after completion of all therapy and then yearly for 3 years or as clinically indicated to evaluate for relapse.
