Study Information
Alliance Study ID: CALGB-9734
NCT Study ID (ClinicalTrials.gov): NCT00003317
Alliance Committee: Respiratory Cancer
Disease or Cancer Type: Lung Cancer & Mesothelioma
Alliance Study Chair: Leslie J. Kohman, MD

Study Description
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. It is not yet known if combination chemotherapy is more effective with or without radiation therapy for stage IIIA non-small cell lung cancer.
PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy with or without radiation therapy in treating patients who have stage IIIA non-small cell lung cancer that has been surgically removed.
