Brief Summary: 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 is a way to kill more tumor cells Combining radiation therapy with chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells

PURPOSE Randomized phase III trial to compare the effect of two combination chemotherapy regimens followed by radiation therapy in treating patients with small cell lung cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Compare the survival rate in patients with newly diagnosed small cell lung cancer and good performance status treated with an intensive regimen of ifosfamidecarboplatinetoposide with mid-cycle vincristine VICE vs standard chemotherapy followed as feasible by thoracic radiotherapy
Compare the adverse effects of treatment and quality of life including psychological distress physical status and functional status and global quality of life in these patients
Compare the Rotterdam Symptom Checklist vs the EORTC QLQ-C30 and LC13 quality-of-life questionnaires in relation to compliance and ability to detect differences between treatments

OUTLINE This is a randomized study

The first group receives standard combination chemotherapy with doxorubicincyclophosphamideetoposide ACE or cisplatinetoposide PE every 3 weeks for 6 courses

The second group receives intensive combination chemotherapy with carboplatinifosfamideetoposide on days 1-3 with vincristine on day 14 VICE Courses repeat every 4 weeks for 6 courses

Patients in both groups are considered for thoracic radiotherapy beginning 4-5 weeks after the first day of the last course of chemotherapy

Concurrent prophylactic antibiotics should be given Patients who relapse may receive further treatment at the clinicians option

Patients are followed monthly for 6 months every 2 months for up to 1 year every 3 months for up to 2 years every 6 months for 5 years and annually thereafter

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 400 patients will be entered over 3 years
