Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die Specialized radiation therapy delivers a high dose of radiation directly to the tumor which may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue

PURPOSE Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy and specialized high-dose radiation therapy in treating patients who have stage II or stage III non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be removed by surgery
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Determine the probability of overall survival and local control in patients with favorable prognosis unresectable stage II-IIIAB non-small cell lung cancer receiving paclitaxel and carboplatin plus 3-D conformal hyperfractionation radiotherapy 3D-CHRT
Determine the incidence and severity of nonhematologic toxicity specifically esophagitis and pneumonitis during 3D-CHRT and chemotherapy with paclitaxel and carboplatin in these patients
Correlate complication rate with radiation based on the effective dose to determine safe treatment guidelines
Determine the feasibility of patient-specific dose escalation using this regimen in these patients
Determine the quality of life and symptom distress in these patients on this regimen

OUTLINE This is a dose-escalation study of 3-D conformal hyperfractionated radiotherapy 3D-CHRT

Patients receive paclitaxel IV over 1 hour followed immediately by carboplatin IV over 30 minutes weekly for 6-8 weeks Patients undergo 3D-CHRT twice daily five days a week for 6-8 weeks

Cohorts of patients receive escalating doses of 3D-CHRT in 4 dose levels

Quality of life is assessed prior to study weekly during chemotherapy and radiotherapy and at 3 and 6 months

Patients are followed at 6 weeks every 3 months for 1 year every 6 months for 2 years and then annually thereafter

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 26-72 patients will be accrued for this study within 3 years
