Eligibility Criteria Expand/Collapse

Single, newly diagnosed, primary lung parenchymal lesion of Stage IIIA (T1, 2 or 3) with ipsilateral positive mediastinal nodes (N2); Either measureable or evaluable dz by chest xray and/or contrast CT scan is allowed; a contrast CT scan of the thorax is required to complete the T and N staging; histologic (biopsy) or cytologic (needle aspiration or sputum) proof of non-small cell histology must be obtained and satisfy both of the following: adenocarcinoma, large cell carcinoma, squamous carcinoma or non-lobar and non-diffuse bronchoalveolar cell carcinoma AND documentation of non small cell carcinoma may originate from the mediastinal node biopsy or needle aspiration only if a distinct lung primary separate from the nodes is clearly evident on the CT scan; No prior chemo or RT for lung cancer; pt. must have adequate hemat., hepatic & renal function; no metastatic disease; pt. must be a candidate for potential future pulmonary resection; Karnofsky PS >=90% OR if PS is 70-80%, albumin must be >= .85 x ILLN and weight loss <=10% due to tumor; (refer to protocol for more specific criteria).
