Combination Chemotherapy and Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Limited-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer
Study Information
Alliance Study ID: NCCTG-N9923
NCT Study ID (ClinicalTrials.gov): NCT00006012
Disease or Cancer Type: Lung Cancer & Mesothelioma
Alliance Study Chair: Scott Okuno, MD
Status: COMPLETED
Study Description
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy 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. Combining chemotherapy with radiation therapy may kill more cancer cells.
PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy before, during, and after radiation therapy in treating patients who have limited-stage small cell lung cancer.
