Celecoxib and Docetaxel in Treating Patients With Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Summary

RATIONALE: Celecoxib may slow the growth of cancer by stopping blood flow to the tumor. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining chemotherapy with celecoxib may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining celecoxib and docetaxel in treating patients who have advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has been previously treated with platinum-based chemotherapy.
