Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die Giving a chemotherapy drug before surgery may shrink the tumor so that it can be removed during surgery Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells It is not yet known whether chemotherapy followed by surgery with or without radiation therapy is more effective than chemotherapy followed by radiation therapy alone in treating non-small cell lung cancer

PURPOSE Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of chemotherapy followed by surgery with or without radiation therapy to that of chemotherapy followed by radiation therapy alone in treating patients who have stage III non-small cell lung cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Compare the overall survival of patients with stage IIIA non-small cell lung cancer treated with surgery with or without radiotherapy versus radiotherapy alone after achieving a response to a neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimen containing cisplatin or carboplatin
Compare the progression-free survival of patients treated with these regimens
Compare the toxic effects of these regimens in these patients

OUTLINE This is a randomized multicenter study Patients are stratified according to participating center response to induction chemotherapy complete vs partial vs minor and histological subtype squamous vs nonsquamous

All patients receive 3 courses of induction combination chemotherapy comprising cisplatin or carboplatin in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity Patients with complete or partial response or minor response if disease has become resectable are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms

Arm I Within 6 weeks of randomization patients undergo radical lobectomy or pneumonectomy plus dissection of the hilar and mediastinal lymph nodes

Patients with positive resection margins of at least 1 cm andor positive mediastinal nodes undergo radiotherapy 5 days a week for 55 weeks

Patients with postresection subclinicalmicroscopic disease with negative tumor margins undergo radiotherapy 5 days a week for 4-45 weeks

Arm II Within 6 weeks of randomization patients undergo primary radiotherapy Patients with subclinicalmicroscopic disease with negative tumor margins undergo radiotherapy 5 days a week for 4-45 weeks

Patients with gross tumor volume and tumor margins at least 1 cm undergo radiotherapy 5 days a week for 6 weeks

Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years and then every 6 months thereafter

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 640 patients will be accrued for this study within 8 years
